doublefile viburnum

Overview

Doublefile Viburnum (Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Weeping Magic') is an attractive and easy to grow deciduous shrub for gardens of any size. Short-tall, with a width even greater, its arching branches and drooping stems produce a layered look. Green leaves are thinly tomentose, maturing to a burgundy red in autumn. In spring, white flowers in flat-topped cymes adorns the branches, giving it an aspect of a weeping willow. The fruits that follow in early autumn are red, transforming to an indigo-black as they ripen, appealing to birds. Exposure to full sun brings out its best colors and growth. Prune as desired, or allow to naturally create a shrubby mound.
