Editor's Note

Some resources list Viburnum berries as poisonous if ingested. Humans who ingest large amounts of the raw berries may experience mild symptoms of stomach upset.

We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to warn people to look further for more information before eating.

This hybrid is a cross between V. carlesii and V. macrocephalum. The fragarnt white flowers open from pinkish buds. Leaves are fuzzy-textured and veiny, turning reddish in fall. This hybrid is more robust than V. carlesii but otherwise looks very similar.

Leaves are dull, grayish green and turn reddish purple in autumn. Very fragrant, long lasting white flowers in 4-5" clusters in spring.
