Popcorn Viburnum
Popcorn Viburnum (Viburnum plicatum f. plicatum 'Popcorn') is a dense, upright, multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub that is known for its clusters of small, popcorn-like flowers in early spring. It is a popular choice for home gardens, as it is easy to grow and care for, and it is relatively pest- and disease-resistant.
Popcorn Viburnum can grow to be 8-15 feet tall and wide, but it can be pruned to maintain a smaller size. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Popcorn Viburnum is a relatively low-maintenance shrub, but it does require regular watering, especially during the first growing season. It should also be fertilized in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
Popcorn Viburnum is typically ready to bloom in early spring, before the leaves emerge. The flowers are typically white in color and last for several weeks. After the flowers fade, the heart-shaped leaves emerge. Popcorn Viburnum also produces small, blue-black berries in the fall, which attract birds and other wildlife.
Popcorn Viburnum is a beautiful and versatile addition to any landscape. It can be planted as a single specimen shrub, used in a hedge or screen, or added to a mixed border. Popcorn Viburnum is also a popular choice for foundation plantings.
Here are some tips for growing and caring for Popcorn Viburnum:
- Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil.
- Water regularly, especially during the first growing season.
- Fertilize in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
- Prune in the late winter or early spring to remove dead or diseased wood and to shape the shrub.
- Inspect the shrub regularly for pests and diseases.
With proper care, Popcorn Viburnum will provide you with many years of enjoyment.
Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
