Steady Eddy® Doublefile Viburnum (plicatum var. tomentosum)

Not your ordinary doublefile viburnum, Steady Eddy® is a plant that brings refinement and romance to every season. In spring, it puts on an elegant show, cloaking its strong, horizontal branches with lacy white blooms. Their airy beauty lingers longer than most, and just when you think the performance is over, Steady Eddy® surprises with a second round of blossoms in summer, extending the charm well into the warm months. Its foliage adds depth and richness to the display—dark green, glossy leaves with the deeply etched veining that is so characteristic of the species. They create a lush backdrop in the garden and serve beautifully in arrangements, where their texture and presence elevate cut flowers. When autumn arrives, the finale is spectacular: leaves shift into brilliant tones of purplish-burgundy, a jewel-toned glow that catches the low fall light and brings the season full circle. With its distinctive tiered branching, Steady Eddy™ offers more than flowers and foliage—it introduces an architectural grace to the landscape. Whether grown as a specimen, woven into a mixed border, or admired up close in a cutting garden, it is a plant that earns its place and keeps its promises, year after steady year. 4-5 feet tall and wide at maturity Hardy in zones 5-8, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success Plant in part to full sun (4+ hours daily) Space plants 4-5 feet apart for best results Produces elegant, lacy white flowers during spring and summer Maintains glossy, dark green with deep veining foliage spring to frost Blooms on old wood Great for borders, containers, foundation plantings, hedges, focal points, landscapes, mass plantings, woodland gardens Attracts bees and butterflies while resisting deer and rabbits Fall interest, compact habit, long blooming, drought tolerant, low maintenance, disease resistant Shrubs shipped Nov-Apr will arrive dormant; shrubs shipped Apr-Oct will arrive green or in bloom Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer.
