Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Shasta' is a doublefile viburnum with its spreading, layered horizontal branches. Grows about 10 feet tall and probably wider, and it should be pruned for risk of ruining the lovely horizontal layering. Clusters of pure white, lacecap-like flowers in May are followed by fruit that ripens to red and then black in August and September. 'Shasta Variegated' is a sport with leaves that are margined yellowish green, though in our heat, the variegation is not stable due to stress.
