Doublefile Viburnum

About this plant

Doublefile Viburnum 'Shasta' is a magnificent deciduous shrub that brings an unparalleled architectural elegance to any landscape. Its distinctive horizontal branching creates a captivating layered effect, especially when adorned with its prolific clusters of pure white, lacecap-like flowers that bloom profusely in late spring. Beyond its exquisite floral display, 'Shasta' offers attractive, dark green corrugated foliage that transforms into striking red-purple hues in fall, providing continuous visual interest. Following the blooms, bright red berries emerge, maturing to black and providing an important food source for birds. This vigorous and adaptable shrub is an excellent choice for a specimen plant, a backdrop in mixed borders, or for creating a beautiful informal hedge, thriving in a variety of garden settings with minimal fuss.

Care & maintenance

Requires occasional pruning to maintain desired shape and remove any dead or crossing branches, best done after flowering. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to encourage robust growth and flowering. Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
