Shasta Doublefile Viburnum

The Shasta Doublefile Viburnum is a truly spectacular shrub that is a drop-dead beautiful addition to your garden. Give it a prime location and enjoy its layered branches, spreading 12 feet or more across, laden with large white blooms in spring like a wedding cake. In summer the flowers give way to an abundance of red berries, and in fall the colors of red and purple are spectacular. Easily grown, it rivals flowering dogwoods for beauty, and makes a striking specimen for a prime spot in your garden. Allow enough room for its final development.

• One of the most spectacular garden shrubs in existence
• Layered in spring with white flowers like a wedding cake

Full sun to partial shade is ideal for the Shasta Doublefile Viburnum, which grows well in zone 5. It will grow in all kinds of soils, from acid to alkaline, and sands to clays. Usually free of pests and diseases it doesn’t even need pruning to develop its unique layered form – put away the trimmers. Spring mulch to conserve moisture and provide nutrients is all you might want to do, and water during longer dry periods.
