Sargent Viburnum

Sargent viburnum is similar to cranberrybush viburnum but somewhat coarser in texture and less tolerant of heat. Clusters of white flowers with purple anthers in the center appear in May followed by red fruit that persists into winter. This species was introduced to Europe and the U.S. from Asia by C. S. Sargent in 1892.

Viburnums are a versatile genus of multi-stemmed shrubs that are well suited to the home landscape due to their range of sizes and cultural adaptability. Some viburnums are noted for their fragrant flowers; most bear small fruit that may add visual interest. Many viburnums have attractive fall color. There are over 100 different varieties of viburnum at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
