'Onondaga'
Onondaga Viburnum An outstanding selection introduced by the U.S.N.A. in 1966. Upright habit when young, then rounded, reaching 6'. A superior cultivar featuring both ornamental foliage and floral displays. Leaves emerge fine textured, velvety, and maroon, later turning green, but retaining a maroon tinge. This makes a vivid contrast for new foliage which continues to emerge maroon. Showy maroon buds open in May to pinwheel-type, creamy-white flowers with delicate purple anthers. We like to think of the flower clusters as having a Milky Way effect. Almost completely sterile, so red fruit is sparse, Fall color is red. A must have plant as a specimen or in mass plantings.
