Mohawk Viburnum A backcross of V. x burkwoodii and V. carlesi developed by the late Dr. Donald Egolf of the U.S. National Arboretum. More compact growth habit; 6-7' tall and wide. Dark red flower buds appear in early spring several weeks prior to opening thus extending the ornamental period. Buds open to white with a red blotch reverse in late April with a spicy clove fragrance. Considered by some to be the most fragrant of the Viburnums. Red fruit changing to black. Glossy green foliage and brilliant orange-red fall color. Zone 4 |

V. carlesi
Korean Spice Viburnum An excellent semi-dwarf shrub 5-8' tall with a rounded habit. Flowers are pink in the bud opening to white and very fragrant, thus its name. Fruit is red changing to black but not effective. Foliage is a pubescent green with a wine-red fall color but not consistent. Possibly the most well known of the fragrant viburnums. Prefers full sun to part shade Zone 4 |

V. carlesi 'Aurora' Aurora Viburnum This cultivar is similar to V. carlesi with the exception of more intense red buds, pink when opening, then turning to white. The result of 25 years of breeding by Leslie Slinger, Slieve Donald Nursery, Newcastle, Northern Ireland. Zone 4 |

V. carlesi ‘Diana’
Diana Viburnum A vigorous clone of relatively compact habit. Flowers are red in the bud and opening the same and finally turning pink and fragrant. The pink flower color is the description of Slieve Donald Nursery of Newcastle, Northern Ireland, but in the U.S.A it is reported to be white flowering. Young foliage is purple tinged before turning dark green like the species. Zone 5 |

V.carlesi compactum
Compact Carlesi Viburnum Although this plant exhibits the same desirable features as V. carlesi, it is extremely popular due to its compact size (3' to 4’). Introduced by Hoogendorn Nuseries, Inc., Newport RI. Zone 4 |

V. cassinoides
Withrod Viburnum Native to eastern U.S. Dense compact rounded shrub that thrives in moist soils. Grows 5-6' but can reach 10'. Foliage emerges in spring with a bronze or purple tint, then glossy dark green. Flowers are creamy white flat-topped cymes in June. The fruit of this species is its most impressive attribute, changing from green to pink to red to blue before becoming black in September. Often all colors are present in the same inflorescens at one time. Fall color is orange-red to dull crimson. Prefers full sun to part shade. Zone 3 |

V. x.Cayuga
Cayuga Viburnum A backcross of V. carlesi and V. x carlcephalum developed by the late Donald Egolf. It has a compact habit when young, reaching 5-6' but becoming slightly wider than tall upon maturity. Foliage is dark green similar to carlesi but more rounded. Abundant pink buds open in late April to very fragrant white waxy flowers. Flowers open from one side of the inflorescens to the other giving you both colors at the same time. Fruit is red to blue-black but not significant. We feel this is a good replacement when V. carlesi is not available. Zone 4
