Fragrant Viburnum is an open, rounded multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with leathery grey green leaves that turn reddish-maroon in fall. Large fragrant clusters of pure white flowers in spring and give way to red berries that mature to black in fall. Flowers best with full sun and moist, loamy well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established.
