Sargent Viburnum

This is a compact, deciduous shrub that will grow to a height of 6’ with a similar spread. It can maintain its rounded shape with very little pruning. It blooms in mid- to late May with clusters of white flowers that give way to red fruit in the fall. These persist through the winter for visual interest.

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.
