Viburnum sargentii
Viburnum sargentii is a deciduous shrub up to about 3 m tall and wide, grown for its maple-like leaves that turn red in autumn, flat white early-summer flower heads, and red berries. It is easy to grow in ordinary garden soil in sun or part shade.
Viburnum sargentii is a species of flowering plant in the family Viburnaceae (formerly Caprifoliaceae), native to north eastern Asia. Growing to 3 m (10 ft) tall and broad, it is a substantial deciduous shrub with 3-lobed, maple-like leaves, often turning red in autumn. Flat white flower-heads (cymes) resembling those of lacecap hydrangeas are borne in early summer. The outer florets are saucer-shaped and sterile, while the central tubular flowers are fertile. The flowers are followed in autumn by globose red berries.
The specific epithet sargentii commemorates the American botanist Charles Sprague Sargent.
