A multi-stemmed deciduous shrub, Viburnum x burkwoodii, features glossy, dark red flower buds that open in late April to reveal waxy white flowers. The strong, spicy, clove fragrance of the flowers is "icing on the cake." Flowers give way to red berry-like drupes. Ovate, green leaves turn maroon in the fall.
