Narrative

An upright, oval deciduous flowering shrub selected for its uniform habit, deep red new growth and excellent red fall color. Will produce large clusters of glossy red fruits when plants are cross-pollinated. Grows to 8-10 feet tall by 6-8 feet wide in 8 years. Medium growth rate. Foliage: wine red new growth fades to bright medium green in summer; brilliant cranberry red in fall. Glossy red fruits in massive clusters adorn the plant throughout the fall and into winter for a wonderful show. Good culture and proper pruning are required to maintain a healthy specimen. Prefers well-drained but moist soil in partial to full sun. Sensitive to drought conditions. Viburnum borers can be a problem with stressed specimens. Hardiness in USDA Zones 2-7. Not tolerant of excessive heat.
