Viburnum sargentii 'Onondaga'
Viburnum sargentii ‘Onondaga’, commonly known as Sargent's viburnum ‘Onondaga’, is a deciduous shrub with an upright, bushy habit, prized for its spectacular foliage and contrasting blooms. In spring, its young leaves emerge bronze-purple before maturing to dark green, creating a rich backdrop for its large, flat inflorescences composed of small, fertile burgundy-red flowers surrounded by sterile pinkish-white flowers. This spring bloom effectively attracts pollinators. In late season, it produces clusters of decorative bright red berries, which are appreciated by birds. In autumn, the foliage turns intense reddish-purple hues, accentuating its ornamental appeal. Ideal for mass plantings, informal hedges, or as a specimen plant, Viburnum sargentii ‘Onondaga’ combines ecological value, sustained seasonal color, and excellent hardiness in cold climates.
