Wabi Sabi Viburnum is a showstopper plant. It’s intricately veined leaves, horizontal branching loaded with huge, lacecap flowers reminiscent of white flowered wings of a bird along topped with bright red berries after flowering is just breathtaking! What is particularly special about this plant is it is compact, growing only 2-3 feet tall and 3-4 feet. wide, making it ideal for the smaller landscape unlike its most viburnums that are much larger.
In the spring when the blooms smother the branches with lacecap flowers like a hydrangea, they are covered with pollinators of every shape and size. Then the berries appear, deliciously red and attractive to birds. The combination of flowers and berries make this a fantastic plant for wildlife. Fall leaf color is a deep red brick shade. The shrub is deciduous and loses its leaves in the winter. However, because of its horizontal branching & the berries you have winter interest on this viburnum when snow falls on the branches.
