A show to behold! A low-maintenance shrub perfect for sun or partial shade, Viburnum 'Shasta' puts on a truly spectacular show of flowers midspring. True-white flowers, each up to 2" wide, form lacelike clusters up to 6" wide and make for a heavenly cascade of blooms. Flowers are followed by a profuse splash of bright-red-maturing-to-black fruit that birds go bonkers for! With the extravagance of bloom and its tendency toward an elegant tiered pyramidal habit, this makes an exceptional loose hedge or sculpted accent plant, typically maturing to 6-8' tall and spreading to 9-12' wide. Deep green and strongly veined deciduous leaves morph into rich plummy maroon fall foliage. This Viburnum is tolerant of a wide variety of soils, as long as it's moist and well-drained-try planting with some mulch around the roots for great results. It prefers some afternoon shade in warmer areas. Pruning should follow flowering.
