It has a broad to rounded shape at maturity and grows 6 feet tall and 10-12 feet wide. It grows well in many exposures and soils, but does best in full sun with moderate moisture and well-drained soils. It does require some light shade in more southern areas. Shasta Doublefile can be planted as a specimen plant, massed group, or a shrub border. It creates a good horizontal element in the landscape, particularly effective planted so as to be viewed from above. Viburnum are one of the most outstanding group of shrubs for use in the landscape planting because they are hardy and resistant to serious pests.
