Viburnum bodnantense ‘Charles Lamont’ is a deciduous shrub grown primarily for its winter performance rather than summer display. From late autumn through winter, clusters of deep pink buds open gradually to pale pink, highly fragrant flowers, often appearing on bare stems when little else is in bloom. This creates both visual interest and scent at a time of year when gardens are typically quiet. The plant develops an upright, lightly structured form that works well in borders or as a feature shrub, while the green foliage fills out the framework once spring arrives. Hardy, dependable, and easy to live with, ‘Charles Lamont’ is particularly well suited to gardeners who value winter flowering and fragrance over showy summer colour.
