Comments: This Koreanspice viburnum cultivar is a compact, slow-growing, rounded, deciduous shrub which typically matures 3-4' tall with a similar spread. Pink buds open in spring to strong but sweetly fragrant white flowers which are arranged in snowball-like clusters. Flowers then give way to non-showy, berry-like drupes which mature to blue-black by late summer. It has broad ovate, dark green leaves. The foliage usually turns dull red in fall, but may sometimes display attractive shades of wine-red to burgundy.
