Viburnum ‘Chindo Sweet’

Chindo Sweet Viburnum

Viburnum ‘Chindo Sweet’ is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub known for its dense foliage, fragrant flowers, and bright berries. It reaches 12 to 15 feet in height and spreads 8 to 10 feet wide. The glossy, dark green leaves provide year-round beauty, making it perfect for privacy hedges, windbreaks, or specimen planting.

In spring, clusters of white flowers bloom, releasing a sweet fragrance that attracts pollinators. By summer, the flowers give way to bright red berries that darken to black, adding seasonal interest and feeding birds. This combination makes it a great choice for wildlife-friendly landscapes.

Chindo Sweet Viburnum thrives in full sun to partial shade. It adapts to different soil types, including sandy, loamy, and clay soils, as long as they drain well. Once established, it tolerates drought, though occasional deep watering helps maintain lush foliage. It also resists common pests and diseases, reducing maintenance needs.

Pruning is rarely necessary but can help shape the shrub. Light trimming after flowering keeps it compact. Its dense growth makes it an excellent natural screen, providing noise reduction and privacy. Additionally, it is deer-resistant, making it ideal for gardens where browsing wildlife is an issue.

This shrub works well in hedges, borders, or as a focal point. With glossy foliage, fragrant blooms, and ornamental berries, Chindo Sweet Viburnum enhances any landscape year-round.
