🌸 Winter pinkish-white flowering • 🍃 Glossy evergreen foliage • ❄️ Very hardy -15°C • ☀️ Sun to partial shade • 💧 Moderate watering • 📏 H90 cm | Pot Ø19 cm • 🐝 Bee-friendly • 🐾 Non-toxic
The Viburnum tinus 'Eve Price', or pink laurustinus, is an evergreen standard shrub native to the Mediterranean region. Its bright pink flower buds open into slightly fragrant pinkish-white flowers from November to April — when almost all outdoor plants are dormant. Its glossy dark green foliage remains decorative all year round.
Grown as a standard, it offers a structured and elegant form that makes it a focal plant on a balcony or terrace. Very hardy, tolerant of pollution and easy to care for, it is one of the most reliable shrubs for an urban garden in every season. Pair it with other Viburnum tinus.
Which variety of Viburnum tinus should you choose?
The two varieties in our catalog share the same hardiness and the same standard form — it is the color of the flowers that sets them apart:
- Viburnum tinus 'Eve Price' (this plant) — bright pink flower buds that open into pinkish-white flowers. The most colorful and eye-catching.
- Viburnum tinus — white buds and flowers, the classic version. More discreet, yet just as generous in bloom.
Eve Price stands out from autumn onwards with its bright pink buds, which contrast with the dark green foliage — a decorative effect visible several months before the flowers open.
Exposure & placement
The Viburnum tinus 'Eve Price' is one of the most adaptable outdoor shrubs — it tolerates a wide range of light conditions and handles urban conditions well.
- Ideal exposure: sun to partial shade — south-, east- or west-facing balcony or terrace.
- Tolerates: light shade and urban pollution — a rare asset for city spaces.
- In a pot: large pot, minimum D30–40 cm, shrub potting soil with good drainage. A terracotta or ceramic pot prevents the roots from overheating in summer.
- Soil: any well-drained soil type, tolerates lime.
- Hardiness: very hardy down to -15 °C - no protection is needed once established.
The sunnier its location, the more abundant the flowering. In partial shade, it will still flower but less densely.
Watering & care
- Watering: regular during the first year to encourage root development, then moderate once established.
- Frequency: 1 to 2 times a week in summer, reduced in autumn and winter depending on rainfall.
- In a pot: water as soon as the surface of the growing medium dries out - pots dry out faster than plants in the ground.
- Drainage: a pot with drainage holes is essential; empty the saucer after watering.
- Fertilizer: once in spring after flowering, using a fertilizer for flowering shrubs.
- Pruning: light pruning after flowering in spring to maintain the standard form and encourage new flowering shoots.
Viburnum tinus is drought-tolerant once well established - the first year is the most critical. Water regularly until autumn, then gradually reduce watering.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
Grown as a standard, the Viburnum tinus 'Eve Price' has the silhouette of a small ornamental tree - it immediately gives structure to a balcony or terrace, even on its own. Its winter flowering makes it a strategic element for ensuring continuous color when everything else is dormant.
- As a solo plant on a balcony: in a large terracotta or ceramic pot, its standard form creates a very architectural miniature tree effect. A reliable choice among plants for balconies and terraces.
- At the base of the stem: plant spring bulbs (daffodils, grape hyacinths) or lavender at its base - the open stem leaves plenty of room for a layered arrangement.
- As a duo: pair it with a white Viburnum tinus for a subtle mirror effect - same shape, complementary colors.
- Ideal pot: large terracotta, matte ceramic, or natural-fiber pot - warm materials enhance its Mediterranean character.
Its flowering from November to April takes over when roses, camellias, and other shrubs begin to fade - keep it in mind so your terrace is never without flowers.
Verdeia tips
- Poor flowering: check the light and pruning — a lack of sun reduces the number of flower clusters. Pruning too severely or too late in autumn removes buds that have already formed. Always prune just after flowering, in spring.
- Yellow leaves: excess water or poor drainage — reduce watering, always empty the saucer, and check that the bottom of the pot drains properly. When grown in a pot, yellowing is almost always linked to stagnant moisture.
- The first year is critical — hardy once established, Viburnum needs regular watering during its first season to develop a strong root system. Do not neglect this stage even if the plant appears robust.
- The standard form requires maintenance pruning — remove suckers (shoots that emerge from the trunk below the crown) as soon as they appear to preserve the tree-like shape. Once a year in spring is sufficient.
- Valuable winter bee plant — its flowering from November to April is a rare resource for pollinators that emerge during mild winter weather. A helpful contribution to urban biodiversity.
- 🐾 Non-toxic — Viburnum tinus is safe for dogs and cats.
