Viburnum plicatum var. tomentosum Lanarth

Doublefile Viburnum

Lanarth doublefile viburnum forms a broad shrub with spreading branches. Flat white lacecap flower clusters cover the branches in late spring and early summer. Dark green summer leaves change to red and purple in fall.

Choose sun or light shade with fertile, well-drained soil. A sunny position gives a stronger flower and fall-color display. It also works in a large container.
