Viburnum.

Continuing with our walk, Mum introduced me to viburnum. Like holly, they require cross-pollination (I think)... basically a bit of plant-on-plant romance. The tiny pale flowers are beautiful, especially at this time of year when so little else is in bloom.

Viburnum.
(Deciduous or evergreen shrub.)

Planting: Autumn.
Flowering: Varies.
Aspect: Ideally full sun, but not essential.
Hardiness: Average, or hardier.

Notes: Cavemen once used viburnum shoots for the shafts of their arrows.
