Viburnum furcatum, the forked viburnum or scarlet leaved viburnum,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Adoxaceae (formerly Caprifoliaceae). Growing to 4 m (13 ft) tall and broad, it is a substantial deciduous shrub with rounded oval bronze-green leaves, turning red in autumn. Scented white flower-heads resembling those of lacecap hydrangeas are borne in summer, followed by black fruits.

This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[2][3]
