Description

Hut 2 ‘Spice Baby’ is a compact, upright and somewhat outwardly spreading shrub with dark green leaves and fragrant light pink to white, 5-petaled flowers. Although petite, it still provides the spicy, intoxicating spring fragrance of traditional Koreanspice viburnum. May produce berries. Adaptable to most soils except very wet. Blooms on old wood. NOTE: To produce berries, you’ll need another V. carlesii of a different cultivar (such as Spice Girl). Although viburnums are monoecious (plants have both male and female parts), they are pretty self-incompatible, requiring cross-pollination between at least two genetically different plants of the same species to set fruit in any quantity. Those genetically different plants must be in bloom at the same time so that visiting insect pollinators can do their job. Height: 3.5-5 ft. Spread: 3.5-5 ft. Family: Adoxaceae Bloom time: March to April Sun: full sun to part shade Water: medium According to Rutgers University, Viburnum carlesii are “seldom severely damaged by deer.” photo credit: Proven Winners a Proven Winners plant
