Coppertop Sweet Viburnum is an upright multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with deep maroon to copper new growth that returns with each pruning and turns deep green in winter. Clusters of fragrant tiny creamy white flowers bloom in spring and give way to red berries that mature to black in fall. Flowers best with full sun and moist, lightly acidic well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established.
