Viburnum sargentii

Viburnum sargentii is a species of flowering plant in the family Adoxaceae (formerly Caprifoliaceae), native to north eastern Asia.

Growing to 3 m (10 ft) tall and broad, it is a substantial deciduous shrub with 3-lobed, maple-like leaves, often turning red in autumn.

Flat white flower-heads (cymes) resembling those of lacecap hydrangeas are borne in early summer.

The specific epithet sargentii commemorates the American botanist Charles Sprague Sargent.

[2] The cultivar 'Onondaga', with red central flowers, has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
