Wentworth Viburnum is an upright native deciduous shrub with a dense rounded habit and bright green maple-like foliage that turns bright burgundy in fall. Large flat-topped clusters of white flowers bloom in spring and are followed by drooping clusters of bright red cranberry-like drupes. Flowers best in consistently moist well-drained soils.
