Best viburnum companion plants – 5 perfect plants to pair with your favorite flowering shrubs this year

Garden border full of shrubs and perennials in summer, with a greenhouse beyond.

With over 150 species and countless cultivars, you are sure to find a species to suit your tastes and needs. And, while they look good as statement shrubs in isolation, I actually think viburnums do best when surrounded by companion plants that add contrast in colour and texture.
