Viburnum plicatum Tomentosum

Doublefile Viburnum, Japanese Snowball Bush

Viburnum plicatum "Tomentosum" is a variety of the commonly known, Japanese Snowball Bush, and is a deciduous shrub grown for its layered foliage and showy flowers. Clusters of white, lacecap flowers are borne during spring on tiered branches that also host dark green leaves. The combination of flowers and foliage is very aesthetic. As autumn progresses the leaves develop colourful purple tones before falling. It typically grows to 3 m tall and 2.5 m wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. Best performance with this variety is achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained site. It is a hardy plant that will tolerate dry periods, coastal conditions, frost, and cool climates. The Snowball Bush is commonly grown as a specimen, included in a mixed planting, used as a backdrop for smaller plants, included in cottage gardens, or planted around outdoor living areas.
