Viburnum Plicatum F. Tomentosum Mariesii | 3L Pot

Pretty lacecap-like flowers. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May Hardiness: fully hardy This beautiful, deciduous shrub makes an excellent specimen plant for a sunny shrub or mixed border. In late spring, its tiered branches are topped with clusters of white lacecap-like flowers, and in autumn its toothed, deeply veined leaves turn reddish purple before being shed. Hardy and easy to grow, its distinctive, horizontal habit works particularly well in a Japanese-style garden. Garden care: Keep the pruning of young plants to a minimum. Any vertical shoots that threaten to spoil the distinctive tiered shape of established plants should be cut back to their point of origin in summer after flowering.
