Description
Viburnum plicatum f. plicatum ‘Popcorn’, commonly known as Doublefile Viburnum, is a deciduous shrub celebrated for its striking horizontal branching and elegant layering of branches that create a distinctive, tiered silhouette. Native to East Asia, this cultivar is distinguished by its abundant, large, flat-topped clusters of pure white, double blooms that resemble popcorn, offering a lush and textured floral display in late spring to early summer. Its dark green, deeply veined leaves provide a vibrant backdrop to the flowers and turn attractive shades of red and purple in the fall, adding multi-season interest. ‘Popcorn’ thrives in well-drained soil with full to partial sun and is valued for its adaptability, deer resistance, and ability to enhance garden landscapes with both its architectural form and showy blossoms. This cultivar has been recognized for its ornamental appeal and garden performance, making it a favored choice among landscapers and horticulturists.
