Is this a viburnum?

Castle Rock, CO

Trying to identify this maroon colored leaf shrub with these beautiful round puffy flower clusters. I’m thinking It’s a viburnum, But I can’t find anything online.

Scott County, KY(Zone 5b)

I think you posted pictures on a different forum, where I responded. Your plant is a maroon leaved selection of Physocarpus opulifolius - Eastern Ninebark.

Look at the leaf arrangement; you will find it has alternate arrangement of simple leaves. Viburnum species will always have opposite arrangement of simple leaves.
