Viburnum × bodnantense Dawn (Arrowwood)
Noted for its intensely fragrant, pink flowers, Viburnum x bodnantense ‘Dawn’ is a strong-growing large deciduous shrub that is prized by most gardeners for its spectacular floral display. Opening from pink buds, clusters of pale rosy-pink flowers with purple-pink anthers appear on the naked stems from late winter to early spring in cold winter areas, and from late fall to early spring in warm winter areas. The flowers are followed by fruits that mature from scarlet to black in fall.
