<i>Viburnum plicatum</i> ‘Mariesii’ | Doublefile Viburnum
DESCRIPTION
Viburnum plicatum 'Mariesii', commonly known as doublefile viburnum, is a deciduous shrub prized for its elegant tiered branching, abundant spring blooms, and attractive fall foliage. Native to China and Japan, 'Mariesii' is popular in gardens and landscapes due to its striking appearance and multi-season interest. In late spring to early summer, it produces flat-topped clusters of white flowers arranged in horizontal layers along the branches, creating a distinctive tiered effect. The shrub has a spreading, somewhat rounded form, with branches that may develop a graceful, cascading appearance as they mature. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, 'Mariesii' prefers well-drained soil rich in organic matter and consistently moist conditions. Versatile and striking, it can be used as a specimen plant, in mixed borders, or as part of a hedge, pairing well with other shrubs, perennials, and spring-flowering bulbs to enhance garden beauty.
