Mohawk Burkwood Viburnum is a compact rounded multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with dense branching and glossy wrinkled dark green leaves that turn orange-red to burgundy in fall. Dark red flower buds open to large flat clusters of creamy white flowers with a spicy fragrance that bloom 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. Drought tolerant once established. Foliage is evergreen in the South but will still earn fall color.
