Also called Maple-leaf Viburnum, this perennial, deciduous shrub is densely branched, reaching 4 to 6 feet in height and 3 to 4 in width. It grows green maple-like leaves that turn an attractive shade of purplish-pink in the fall, clusters of small, white flowers that bloom from April to August, and red to blue-black berries. This plant grows in full sun to shade, and in a variety of dry to moist soils including rocky, sandy, loamy, and clayey soils. It attracts birds, butterflies, bees, and other nectar insects.
