Sizing Information
Hope springs eternal each year in early spring, doesn't it? Let this early blooming Viburnum "throw out" the first baseball-sized blooms to officially start your season.
Opening Day™ Doublefile Viburnum (Viburnum plicatum 'PIIVIB-II' PP# 28,958) offers major league interest with a plentiful show of rounded flowers. The bold blooms open celadon green and age to pure white.
These clustered balls make a fast impression, and last a long time as cut flowers in the vase. No need to worry about seeds, as each of the individual flowers are sterile.
The mounded, tight growth habit fits beautifully in today's smaller lots. You'll enjoy the versatility of these beautiful flowering shrubs.
Opening Day™ Viburnum makes a wonderful privacy screen aimed along your fences. Use them even in courtyards without fear they'll outrun the base size listed on the Plant Highlights.
The dark-green leaves have a beautiful pleated texture. The overall look is extremely attractive even when the flowers are gone.
As the fall temperatures strike a downturn, the foliage scores that fantastic red-purple color called Cabernet. Mellow out with family and friends during these championship series of cool days to finish the season.
This heavy hitter is an improved take on a classic garden plant. Don't miss the first pitch...sign Opening Day™ Doublefile Viburnum to your roster this season!
Put these three-season shrubs to work in your landscape. Hide unwanted views the easy way with their dense branching and large textured leaves.
Use a grouping of "right-sized" Opening Day™ Viburnum in a patio planting bed. Relax with family and friends in private style, without fear of feeling like you live in the dugout.
These workhorses look great at the back of the mixed border. You'll appreciate their top averages, with plenty of color, texture and outstanding ornamental blooms.
Create a wonderfully modern hedge with their help. Let Opening Day develop into an informal "friendly fence" and make yourself and the neighbors happy.
Plant four feet apart on center, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next. Slide these hard-working shrubs into your existing windbreaks at home.
Add a pair to define either side of an entrance to an outdoor garden room.Or, use their sturdy charm to create the walls of a new outdoor space with the sky for a ceiling.
Call us superstitious, but we predict you'll love these long-lived plants more and more as time goes on. Why not give a few as a welcome housewarming present?
These exceptional players need at least four hours of sunlight a day. They perform well in either full sun, or partial shade.
Give them well-drained soil, and keep them hydrated with a moderate amount of water on a regular basis. Add a three-inch layer of mulch over their roots, then pull it back away from directly touching the stems.
After the incredible flowers are finished, you can prune to shape, if needed. Every three years, do a renewal prune.
Simply remove several of the oldest, thickest stems down to the ground at that time. Leave the younger, thinner stems in place to keep the plant young and vigorous.
As they say in baseball...play ball! Order Opening Day™ Doublefile Viburnum today.
