About this product
Viburnum tinus ‘Eve Price’
10l Container – Approximately 50–60cm
Plant Highlights: Evergreen foliage • Winter and early spring flowers • Compact shrub habit • Useful for borders and containers
Overview
Viburnum tinus ‘Eve Price’ is a reliable evergreen shrub valued for its glossy foliage, rounded habit and clusters of pink buds that open into pale flowers through the cooler months. Flowering from winter into spring, it brings colour and interest at a time when many garden plants are resting.
The neat, bushy growth makes this viburnum a useful choice for mixed borders, sheltered areas and large containers. The evergreen leaves provide year-round structure, while the seasonal flowers add a welcome lift to winter gardens and can provide a useful resource for early pollinating insects.
Why We Love It
- Evergreen foliage provides structure throughout the year
- Pink buds open to delicate pale flowers in winter and spring
- Compact shrub habit suits borders and larger containers
- Useful for sheltered garden positions
- Adds seasonal interest when little else is flowering

Growing Guide
Position
Choose a sunny or partially shaded position with some shelter from cold winds. Viburnum tinus is adaptable, but a protected site can help maintain attractive evergreen foliage and encourage reliable flowering, especially in exposed Irish gardens.
Watering
Water regularly after planting until established. Once settled, water during prolonged dry periods, paying particular attention to container-grown plants, which can dry out more quickly during warmer weather.
Soil
Plant in fertile soil that holds some moisture while still draining freely. Avoid areas that remain waterlogged, particularly during the wetter months.
Routine Care
This viburnum naturally forms a rounded shrub and usually needs only light pruning to maintain shape. If trimming is required, prune after flowering to avoid removing developing flower buds.
Seasonal Interest
The combination of evergreen leaves, winter flower buds and early-season blooms makes Viburnum tinus ‘Eve Price’ especially useful for adding structure and colour during the quieter months of the gardening year.
Good to Know
Flowering can vary with weather and growing conditions. In colder or more exposed gardens, a sheltered position can help protect the foliage and support better flowering performance.
