Viburnum tinus Lisa Rose  

Lisa Rose is a mid sized, dense, compact bushy, evergreen shrub with dark green leaves. The flower buds form in early autumn, turning deep brick-red as the temperature drops. The small, pink and white flowers open in rounded clusters from mid-winter to mid-spring, so earlier than other varieties making it a valuable food source for Bees,  followed by dark blue-black berries. Its growth habit makes it perfect for adding a little height to mixed shrub beds. It also makes an excellent, evergreen and manageable hedge.
