Viburnum Plicatum Tomentosum 19cm

Doublefile viburnum is a medium-sized, deciduous shrub that is commonly found in the landscape. This shrub is native to China and Japan and grows 8 to 10 feet tall and as wide. It is multi-stemmed and has horizontal branching giving a layered appearance. The white flowers in spring are showy cymes followed by red to black fruit the birds love. Fall leaf color is red to purple. It grows well in sun to part shade and is adaptable to soil types. Prune as needed after flowering.

Showy blooms occur 'double-file', in axils of leaves with one on each side of a node on horizontal branches in late spring. The lace-capped flowerhead has showy sterile flowers that encircle non-showy inner fertile flowers. It is easily identified by its leaves which are ovate, pubescent, and appear pleated with serrate margins. The pleats are comprised of nearly straight, impressed veins.
