Description

Viburnum lantana is a large shrub or small tree long cultivated in Europe, and 'Candy' is a more compact form with shapely branching. It appears that it will grow into a nicely shaped shrub. 'Candy' was named for fruits that ripen to a bright red in July, and they hold their red color for a long time before eventually becoming black.
