Laurustinus

Laurustinus (Viburnum Tinus) - A beautiful and fragrant evergreen, thriving over a large area of Great Britain and Ireland, especially near the sea and on warm and gravelly soil, though now and then injured by severe winters even in the country south of London. In sunny positions it usually flowers freely, but not in shade, commencing to bloom in December, it will continue till the end of March. Although all its flowers are perfect, it does not ripen fruit regularly, but fruits occasionally occur, the color being a dark blue. There are several varieties of the Laurustinus, one of which, the var. lucidum, has fine large leaves, shining and almost smooth on both sides, and the flowers and flower-trusses also are larger. It is possibly not quite so hardy as some forms of Laurustinus, and should have a sheltered sunny spot. Other varieties are hirtum, distinguished by the hairiness of the leaves and branches, and purpureum, which has the leaves suffused with a dull purple tinge. Laurustinus can be struck from cuttings.
