Viburnum x burkwoodii

Burkwood Viburnum

This shrub has a compact, rounded form, growing 8 - 10 feet tall and wide. In early spring, it produces showy lipstick - red buds that open to white flowers. Once open, the flowers scent the air with their spicy, clove - like perfume for another two weeks. The glossy dark green foliage is handsome throughout the growing season and resistant to bacterial leaf spot and powdery mildew. Foliage turns orange - red in autumn.
