Viburnum plicatum tom. 'Shasta'

Shasta Doublefile Viburnum

Shasta Doublefile Viburnum spreads its branches in broad horizontal tiers. White flower clusters line the upper surfaces in spring, emphasizing the layered shape rather than hiding it beneath a solid dome of bloom.

Dark green leaves have deeply impressed veins and pale, softly hairy undersides. Shiny fruits follow the flowers, and purple-red foliage adds color near the end of the growing season. The shrub becomes wider than it is tall, giving it a strong presence in a generous border.

Grow in sun or partial shade with moist, well-drained soil. Allow the branches room to extend, and protect the root zone from excessive summer heat with mulch or suitable groundcover.
