An evergreen shrub growing normally up to 3 metres. Noted for its eye-catching fragrant flower clusters that appear over winter and colourful metallic blue berries. Viburnum tinus is native to much of North Africa and Europe, including Portugal. It is drought and heat tolerant providing there is sufficient depth of soil and a sheltered position (such as built up urban areas), otherwise this is a plant that usually grows naturally in association with other larger trees that will provide some shade and shelter - so this describes many gardens.

Viburnum tinus can be used for hedging and is good habitat for all wildlife, providing cover, fruit and flowers. This is a useful addition to mixed native planting, in combination with Pistacia, Myrtle, Phillyrea and Olive where it can take advantage of the shelter and microclimate offered by the other species. Widely used in herbal remedies as a tea.

Specialising in growing plants for dry mediterranean landscapes

We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.

We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.

We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.

To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
