Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum – Rare Lacecap Viburnum
A truly exclusive garden gem, Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum is prized for its graceful, horizontal branches that display lacecap-style white flower clusters in spring. Unlike the common snowball type, this form produces delicate outer blooms that frame tiny fertile flowers, creating a refined, layered look that feels light and elegant.
In summer, clusters of red berries ripen to black, providing food for garden birds, while autumn brings a spectacular display of deep burgundy foliage. Its tiered growth habit gives it an architectural presence, making it perfect as a specimen shrub or an accent in mixed borders.
🌱 Growing Conditions:
Light: Full sun to partial shade.
Soil: Moist, fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost.
Water: Moderate; water deeply in dry weather.
Hardiness: Cold-hardy and frost-tolerant.
Care: Minimal pruning – just a light trim after flowering to shape if needed. Mulch to retain soil moisture and enrich roots.
✨ A rare lacecap Viburnum, ideal for gardeners who love subtle elegance and year-round seasonal interest.
