Sweet Viburnum (Viburnum sinensis) is one of Cape Town’s most reliable and fast-growing hedging plants, valued for its glossy evergreen leaves and dense, year-round growth.
Perfect for creating privacy screens or windbreaks, it thrives in Western Cape gardens, adapting easily to both clay and sandy soils.
Plant in full sun to semi-shade and water well during establishment. Regular trimming will keep it lush and compact. This versatile shrub can be shaped into an evergreen hedge, trained as a small tree, or used in large containers.
