Not your run-of-the-mill doublefile viburnum! In our trials, it has beaten out 'Summer Snowflake' with improved, stronger blooming. You can see for yourself with its long bloom time in spring and repeat blooming in the summer. Its elegant, lacy blooms are held on a strongly horizontal habit, which brings a unique architectural feature to the landscape. Foliage is dark green, glossy, and has the hallmark deep veining of the species, which altogether looks lovely in the landscape and performs well as a filler for cut flower arrangements. Fall color is a brilliant purplish-burgundy.

Growing & Maintenance Tips for Viburnum plicatum var. tomentosum 'Steady Eddy™'
Like other viburnums, Steady Eddy™ needs little special care.
Plant in well-drained soil and sun to part sun for best results. In warmer climates a little afternoon shade is beneficial.
Pruning is not required regularly, but if you wish to do so, make your snips after it has flowered.
Removal of the oldest stems every few years will encourage full, juvenile growth.
