A compact shrub with quite coarse green foliage, carmine pink buds appear in late winter and open to white blooms tinged pink. Flowers are lightly perfumed and followed by dark blue berries. Easy to grow in sun or light shade. Responds well to pruning. Evergreen. RHS AGM.

While 'Gwenllian' is self-fertile, planting it near other Viburnums can sometimes lead to even heavier berry production due to cross-pollination
