Fireworks Viburnum is an early blooming spreading multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with horizontal branching and toothed leathery dark green leaves that turn burgundy in fall. Heavy blooms of flat clusters of pure white flowers in double-file bloom on red flower stems in spring and give way to bright red berries that mature to black in fall. Flowers best with full sun and moist, lightly acidic well-drained soils. Foliage is evergreen in the South but still earns fall color.
