Brandywine Viburnum is a compact, multi-stemmed native deciduous shrub with unusually intensely colored berries and glossy wrinkled dark green leaves that turn dark maroon-red in fall. Flat clusters of fragrant white flowers bloom in late spring and give way to green berries that ripen to vivid pink and blues 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.
