Description

Handsome Devil® is an elegant, glossy-leafed evergreen viburnum selected for green, burgundy, and orange-bronze hues in the new growth and in autumn. It is a compact, dense plant which makes an excellent hedge or specimen. Pure white June flowers are followed by red fruit which matures to black. A cross between V. odoratissumum 'Awabuki' and V. hilleri 'Winton'. For best fruiting, use V. odoratissimum as a pollinator.
