Description
Viburnum x burkwoodii 'Conoy' is a compact shrub with a rounded and bushy habit. It boasts small, shiny, dark green, deciduous leaves, pink then white flowers that bloom from April to May, and attractive red fruits in autumn. It has a generous and fragrant flowering, reminiscent of orange blossom. It is highly appreciated for its double interest of beautiful spring flowering and attractive coppery colours in autumn. It is suitable for containers or small gardens due to its slow growth rate. This deciduous bush is very hardy and grows well in any ordinary moist soil, without excessive limestone, in full sun or partial shade.
This variety is the result of a cross-breeding between Viburnum carlesii and V. utile, and reaches a height and spread of 1.5m (5ft). During flowering, the bush carries abundant 10cm (4in) diameter flower clusters at the end of its branches. The pink flowers gradually turn white, creating a subtle gradient of colours that contrasts perfectly with its dark foliage. The flowers are followed by spherical fruits in September-October, which are initially red before turning black when ripe, extending the ornamental interest into winter. Its fruits attract birds. The semi-evergreen foliage takes on coppery hues in autumn.
Hardy up to -20°C (-4°F), Viburnum x burkwoodii 'Conoy' can be used as a standalone plant to attract attention in small gardens, or as a hedge or group planting in larger gardens. Its inflorescences can be used in flower arrangements. Consider planting it in a high-traffic area to fully enjoy its fragrance, such as near a window or a door.

Planting and care
Evergreen down to -20°C (-4°F), Viburnum x burkwoodii 'Conoy' thrives in sunny or semi-shaded locations. Plant it in moist but well-drained soil. Depending on your soil type, adjust its pH with compost as it won't tolerate excessive limestone. During its initial establishment, ensure regular watering (except during freezing periods). Viburnum are sometimes invaded by black bean aphids (Aphis fabae), a parasite that also overwinters on Euonymus and is a vector for Cucumber Mosaic Virus, which causes a serious mosaic disease. The leaves are sometimes ravaged by leaf beetle. Powdery mildew, rot, and leaf spots can also affect them.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
