Double File Viburnum

The Double File Viburnum is a coveted garden shrub of high quality, recommended by all the top designers. It has a unique horizontal form, with branches in layer, which in May or June are lined with two rows of pure white lace-cap type flower heads. The spectacular blooming is a garden highlight you will cherish. Growing up to 12 feet across, allow enough room when choosing a planting spot. The dark-green leaves have pronounced veins, making them look pleated, and they turn bold burgundies and purples in fall. Red berries are often produced in late summer, popular with birds. Plant in a prominent position, where its beauty can be seen to its best.

Full sun, or a spot with some afternoon shade in hot zones, is perfect for the Double File Viburnum. Grow it in any well-drained soil, with the best results in richer, moist soils that are neutral to acidic. Generally trouble-free, it is worthwhile to cut back by up to one-half any strong vertical shoots, but never cut back the horizontal branches, and avoid using trimmers. Rarely troubled by pests or diseases, this lovely plant is easy to grow and very worthwhile.
