Shasta Viburnum, Doublefile Viburnum

Shasta Viburnum is an early blooming spreading multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with horizontal branching and toothed leathery dark green leaves that turn burgundy in fall.  Heavy blooms of flat clusters of pure white flowers in double-file bloom in spring and give way to bright red berries that mature to black in fall.  Flowers best with full sun and moist, lightly acidic well-drained soils.  Drought tolerant once established.  Foliage is evergreen in the South but still earns fall color.
