Sweetly fragrant white flowers are in such tight balls they resemble snowballs. Unlike many viburnum carlesii, this variety blooms with its leaves fully expanded as a backdrop, enhancing the beauty of the flowers. Cooler fall weather turns the dark foliage into brilliant shades of burgundy and glowing red. A compact grower, Spice Island™ is slow to mature, perfect for garden paths, smaller spaces and as a specimen plant.
