Viburnum x burkwoodii 'Mohawk'

     A 1993 Gold Medal Plant Award Winner, Viburnum x burkwoodii 'Mohawk' is loaded with clusters of ornamental dark red flower buds for several weeks before opening in mid to late April to exhibit its showy blossoms and strong, spicy scent. A display of beautiful flowers that last for weeks.

     Mohawk Viburnum leaves turn a brilliant orange-red in autumn. Excellent for use as a specimen plant, as a shrub border or planted near any area where the spicy clove-like fragrance can be fully appreciated. This deciduous shrub with spreading branches matures at approximately 8 feet tall and 10 feet wide. Although the 'Mohawk' grows well in many exposures and soils, it prefers full sun to light shade. Disease resistant cultivar.
