Fragrance lovers, rejoice—Spice Girl® Koreanspice Viburnum is here to elevate your spring garden experience. This standout shrub greets the season with rosy pink buds that open to clusters of fragrant white flowers, filling the air with a spicy-sweet scent that lingers and delights. But it’s not just a one-season wonder—when autumn arrives, its foliage transforms into a brilliant shade of red, adding rich, warm color to your landscape.

Spice Girl is a tough yet elegant performer: deer-resistant, shade-tolerant, and easy to grow. Whether you’re tucking it into a mixed border, creating a low hedge, or letting it shine as a standalone focal point, this viburnum delivers beauty and structure without the fuss. With blooms, berries, and fall color, it’s a must-have for multi-season impact.

Why we love it:

  • Heavily scented pink-and-white blooms in mid-spring

  • Vibrant red fall foliage adds a second seasonal show

  • Deer-resistant, shade-tolerant, and great for hedges or specimen plantings
