Viburnum flowers trees

A low-maintenance shrub with fragrant white flowers, viburnum blooms from spring to fall. Coppertop Sweet Viburnum (Viburnum odoratissimum 'BRANT01') is a fast-growing variety that's commonly grown as a privacy hedge, but can also be grown as an accent shrub. "This has quickly become one of my favorite screening plants," says Jim Putnam from Southern Living Plant Collection. "It's a very fast-growing evergreen shrub and all of the new growth is a beautiful coppery color that matures to a striking dark green. Mine have tripled in size in one year since I planted them."
