Farrer's Pink fragrant viburnum features very fragrant pink blooms that emerge before the foliage in early spring. Plant this viburnum in sun to partially shaded locations with good air drainage to avoid late spring frosts that can damage the flowers.

Viburnums are a versatile genus of multistemmed shrubs that are well-suited to the home landscape due to their range of sizes and cultural adaptability. Some viburnums are noted for their fragrant flowers; most bear small fruit that may add visual interest. Many viburnums have attractive fall color. There are more than 100 different varieties of viburnum at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
