Cayuga Viburnum – Fragrant Flowers & Four-Season Interest

Cayuga Viburnum (Viburnum × carlcephalum ‘Cayuga’) is a compact, well-behaved shrub that delivers strong seasonal performance. In mid-spring, it bursts into bloom with dense, globe-shaped clusters of pink-tinged white flowers that emit a rich, spicy fragrance.
