Sapho

This japanese Viburnum has tiered lacecap pinkish white inflorescences from April to June, followed by numerous red berries in summer. Its main interest is its shape, pyramidal, with well distributed horizontal branches. It is more compact and makes more fruits than KILIMANDJARO® 'JWW-1', its flowers are pinkish instead of pure white.
The shrub is well suited for small gardens, and takes up little floor space. A "sunrise over a snowy mountain."
