Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Summer Snowflake'

Summer Snowflake doublefile viburnum

Summer Snowflake doublefile viburnum. Representative plant

Lacy white flower clusters line tiered branches in spring, with scattered rebloom later in the season. Burgundy to purple-bronze autumn leaves extend its interest. Allow room for the broad horizontal branching, which looks best when its natural outline is preserved.
