Viburnum carlesii 'Spiro'
Choose Spice Girl® Koreanspice Viburnum if spring fragrance near a walk, patio, or entry matters most; the tradeoff is it needs room to become a real shrub, not a tight foundation plant.
Buy This If
You want strong spring fragrance.
You have room for a full shrub.
You prefer a tidy deciduous plant.
Skip This If
You need evergreen screening.
You want summer-long bloom.
Your soil dries out fast.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
Its best moment is spring fragrance and bloom, with a quieter look the rest of the season.
Growth Rate
B
It grows at a manageable pace, so it will not fill a space overnight.
Maintenance
B
Light pruning after bloom is usually enough, but shearing would ruin the natural shape.
Deer Resistance
C
This isn't deer-resistant; deer may browse it, especially tender new growth, so protect it where deer pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
C
It needs more breathing room than many homeowners expect from a flowering shrub.
Screening Value
B-
It can soften views in season, but it is not dense or evergreen enough for year-round privacy.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically place this where people pass close by in spring, not in the far back corner of the yard where the fragrance gets wasted.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
