Description
The Sweet Viburnum (Viburnum odoratissimum) paints a lush canvas of green foliage in gardens, with its snow-white flowers peeping through from Kambarang (late spring) to Bunuru (late summer). Not only is it a visual delight, but the vibrant large shrub also adds a gentle aroma that makes a stroll in the garden even more pleasing. Tucked under some afternoon shade, especially during the scorchers of Bunuru, it continues to flourish.
Be it in a pot or grounded with a premium soil conditioner, this plant likes a good balance of sun and shade. As Bunuru heats up, remember to keep the water coming. After it's done showing off its blooms, give it a good trim to maintain that neat look. A bit of feed during Djilba (early spring) keeps it growing strong and healthy.
