Viburnum lentago

Large shrub with upright branching habit. Leaves are a dark glossy green when contrasted by flat topped clusters of white flowers. Flowers mature into blue-black fruits prior to putting on an outstanding fall color display of orange, red, and deep purple color transitioning leaves. Native species with great durability, and persistent fruits are good winter food for birds. Excellent in shade, sun, moist or dry soils. Very hardy.
