The Shasta Viburnum (Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Shasta') is a striking deciduous shrub known for its layered, horizontal branching and abundant, lacecap-style white flowers. Blooming in mid to late spring, its flat-topped clusters of tiny fertile flowers are surrounded by showy sterile florets, creating a dramatic, tiered effect that makes this plant a standout in the garden. After flowering, it produces clusters of red berries that ripen to black, attracting birds and adding seasonal interest. Shasta Viburnum typically grows 6 to 8 feet tall and can spread up to 10 to 12 feet wide, making it an ideal choice for use as a flowering hedge, screen, or specimen plant.
In addition to its beautiful flowers and fruit, Shasta Viburnum offers excellent fall color, with leaves turning shades of burgundy and deep red. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil, though it is adaptable to a variety of conditions. Hardy in USDA Zones 5 to 8, it is also relatively deer-resistant and low-maintenance once established. The wide, layered form of this viburnum creates an elegant, natural look in the landscape, making it a favorite among gardeners who appreciate both beauty and structure in their plantings.
