“Dawn” is a deciduous and popular variety of Viburnum due to its foliage and flowers. Pink buds open to reveal showy clusters of small and fragrant, pink flowers during late winter and spring. Flowering begins just before the foliage emerges and results in purple-black berries in summer. The foliage emerges bronze tinted in spring, ages to become dark green, and then develops colourful shades of red in autumn before falling. The combination of flowers and foliage is very aesthetic. It typically grows to 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best performance with this variety is achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained site. It is a hardy plant that will tolerate dry periods, coastal conditions, frost, and cool climates. “Dawn” is commonly grown as a specimen, included in a mixed planting, used as a backdrop for smaller plants, trimmed into a hedge, maintained in a container, or included anywhere the fragrance and beauty can be appreciated.
