Alleghany Viburnum is a fast-growing dense multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a rounded habit and leathery wrinkled dark green leaves. Large flat clusters of creamy white flowers bloom in spring and give way to bright red berries that mature to black in fall. Flowers best with full sun and moist, lightly acidic well-drained soils. Foliage is evergreen in the South.
