Pink Dawn Viburnum
It was just yesterday that I was passing through our nursery and I spotted this glorious plant getting ready to burst into bloom. Some of the pink blooms had already burst into full spectacle along with a fragrance that had me staggering down the garden path. This particular plant just amazes me with it’s durability (it got down below zero this winter, plus this plant along with all the other containerized plants simply sits above ground, subjecting it to dramatic swings in day and night temperatures) and to top it all off it is usually one of the first to come into bloom. Best planted in a location of early morning sun with afternoon shade, I am sure you will not be let down with it’s performance. Growth is slow so you may want to save a little longer and buy a bigger plant. It loves to wiggle it’s toes in a soil that has been deeply amended with manure free compost and fed a good organci fertilizer such as our “Cold Climate”. Better swing on by and get one of these planted while they are still in budded form or you will hear me later on talking about how spectacular this plant realy is and you will have to wait until next year to see with your very own eyes how wonderful this plant realy is!
