  • Description

  • Notes

This deciduous viburnum is prized for its clove-scented spring flowers. The shrub forms an generally upright, densely branched, rouded habit, growing 6 to 12 feet tall but only about half as side. Leaves are a glossy dark green, and turn burgundy in the fall. Pink flower buds appear in April and open to fragrant, pinkish-white flowers, which in turn are followed by berries that ripen to red in August. Use in a shrub or foundation border, along a fence, or as a screen or hedge. Birds enjoy the berries.
