A superior Viburnum selection, 'Mariesii' forms a full to the ground, 6-8 feet tall and 8-10 feet wide dome shaped mound that becomes literally covered with very pretty white flowers arranged in lacecap clusters in late spring and early summer. Mariesii is a butterfly and hummingbird magnet. Following the flower show are numerous clusters of scarlet-red berries the song birds will love. Finally, to end the three-season color show, the deep green foliage turns deep maroon and then to a vivid red in fall. A truly spectacular shrub that deserves a spot in every garden where it will grow. USDA Zones: 5a-9b Find Your Zone

Growing in a rounded mound 6 to 8 feet tall and 8 to 10 feet wide, the Mariesii 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: 5-6 feet apart for solid hedges; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants

Mariesii 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.
