Viburnum x burkwoodii 'Mohawk'

Mohawk Viburnum

Mohawk Viburnum draws attention with red buds that open into strongly fragrant flower clusters. The tubular flowers are white within and retain red coloring on their outer surfaces.

Glossy dark green leaves turn orange and red in autumn, while ornamental fruits mature from red to black. Its bushy outline makes a useful flowering anchor in a mixed shrub border.

Choose sun or partial shade and moisture-retentive soil with good drainage. Provide room for the natural branching pattern.
