Description
Introduced by the National Arboretum, ‘Shasta’ is a superior selection that produces LOADS of large, 6-inch wide lacecap-like clusters of showy, pristine white flowers that nearly cover the horizontal branches in late spring to early summer. The butterfly attracting flowers are followed by abundant scarlet-red berries the songbirds will appreciate. Backing up the flowers are deep green leaves with an oval shape that are strongly veined and toothed around the edges and pleated on top. The attractive leaves turn burgundy red to purplish red in fall to finish off the season. A truly spectacular shrub that deserves a spot in every garden where it will grow and where there is room.

Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a rounded mound 6 to 8 feet tall and 10 to 12 feet wide, the Shasta Doublefile Viburnum is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as a natural hedge in sunny to partially shaded landscape and flowering shrub borders or against a large open wall in home foundation plantings. A fine addition to white theme gardens, Viburnum gardens, wildlife gardens, and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 7 to 8 feet apart for solid hedges; 15 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Shasta Doublefile Viburnum is very easy to grow in full sun to part shade and most any average garden soil that is moist but well-drained. As with so many other ornamental shrubs it does not like constantly soggy or wet soil, which can cause problems with the roots. In our gardens here in Zone 8a of north-central Georgia, we’ve found it looks and performs its best with a little shade or filtered sun during the hottest part of summer afternoons. That said, in zones 5a to 7a it should do fine in all-day sun.

The shrub arrived well packaged and a good size for a three gallon. The roots were well established, but not pot bound. Got what I paid for.—————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the awesome review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I have seen pictures of these and just a few in landscapes, and for MANY years I wanted one more than any other plant. They seem to be rare in my area, so I was thrilled to see these on W.B.! I ordered one last fall and it was very healthy and a good size. Too late to bloom, but this year we had loads of beautiful white blooms layered on it and it has grown a lot! I’m so pleased with it and love the graceful branching even without the flowers.!———————————————Thanks for the kind words and wonderful review!

I still recall the friendly, exhubriant staff member who took my call back in the spring when I was looking for the Shasta. We previously had a Shasta, and wanted another..
I was impressed with the courtesy and willingness in helping answer a bunch of my questions. In fact, I believe I called back a few days later and received the same excellent, knowledgeable service.. For those reasons and the free mailing, I purchased the Shasta – and it’s doing fine as we approach the Fall/Winter seasons in Chicago.
In summary, I would encourage those looking for plants to shop Wilson Bros. I trust them, and admire their exceptional customer service.——————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

My neighbor brought several Shasta viburnums with her from her prior Illinois home. They are spectacular and grew into gorgeous trees in both our sun and shade in NC. (The one in sun is the biggest flower producer). I was so happy to be able to order my 3-gallon bush from Wilson Bros. It’s planted in my front yard so I can share it’s beauty with my neighbors as it grows.———————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

I ordered this in winter and received the shrub within a week. The plant is dormant but obviously still alive and is a robust, nicely shaped shrub. It came packaged very well with one other shrub (both 3 gallon). I was happy with the quality of both shrubs and the speed of service, as well as care in packaging.————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!
