A Perfect Combination of Beauty and Resiliency
|
Viburnum plicatum tomentosum ‘Mariesii’ (Double File Viburnum) almost acts like a tree. Reaching 10′-12′ tall and up to 15′ wide over time, it is notable for the double rows of blossoms that march up and down its horizontal stems in late May and early June. The stunning white flowers are sterile so do not produce berries. Its dark green pleated foliage turns vivid shades of red, fuschia and bronze in the fall and linger on the shrub through November. Densely twiggy, double file viburnum provides good screening all through the year. Best of all, unlike native arrowroot (Viburnum dentatum) and highbush cranberry (Viburnum trilobum), the Double File (Viburnum plicatum tomentosum ‘Mariesii’) is resistant to Viburnum Leaf Beetle!
