Viburnum opulus
'Nanum'
Dwarf European Cranberrybush Viburnum
"
An attractive plant in form and autumn colour which is an intense red in the Ontario garden. Best used as mass plantings or groupings in the gardens in full sun or partial shade. Of interest for its contrasting foliage and autumn colour. I have seen the plant used as an informal hedge: a use to which it should not be subjected.
