Sweet Viburnum (Viburnum odoratissimum) in a 3-gallon container, ready for planting. This fast-growing evergreen shrub adds 1 to 2 feet per year and can reach a mature height of 25 to 30 feet with a spread of 15 to 25 feet. It features dense, dark green foliage and produces clusters of fragrant white flowers in early spring.

The shrub is widely used as a privacy hedge, windbreak, or ornamental accent. Red berries appear in fall, maturing to blue-black and attracting birds. Sweet Viburnum thrives in full sun to partial shade and performs best in USDA hardiness zones 8 through 10. It is low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and adapts well to a variety of soil types.
