lovely plant have had it for many many many years. The only problem with it is that if the lower limbs hit the ground they will root in. Just something to be aware of. if you want it to form a colony then this plant is great. but if you are looking for something to just stay in place and not spread this might not be the plant for you.

Features

In spring, large, lacy white flower clusters cover the plant, followed by green fruit which turns brilliant red in late summer. The thick, leathery foliage lends a distinguished, handsome look to the plant all season. This viburnum will develop some berries without another variety as a pollinator, but you'll get more fruit if planted around 'Mohican' or 'Alleghany.'
