Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Weeping Magic'
Doublefile Viburnum (Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Weeping Magic') is an attractive and easy to grow deciduous shrub for gardens of any size. Short-tall, with a width even greater, its arching branches and drooping stems produce a layered look. Green leaves are thinly tomentose, maturing to a burgundy red in autumn. In spring, white flowers in flat-topped cymes adorns the branches, giving it an aspect of a weeping willow. The fruits that follow in early autumn are red, transforming to an indigo-black as they ripen, appealing to birds. Exposure to full sun brings out its best colors and growth. Prune as desired, or allow to naturally create a shrubby mound.

watering
Doublefile viburnum should be watered regularly throughout the growing season in order to grow best. In the Spring and Summer, watering should be done on a weekly basis, with 1-2 inches of water. Water should be directed at the root-zone, ensuring that the soil does not dry out completely. In the Fall and Winter, when the plant is in its dormant state, watering should be decreased gradually until the winter rains take over.
sunlight
Doublefile viburnum plants prefer at least 4 to 6 hours of full sunlight each day. It is best to give them this sunlight in the morning and early part of the day as exposure to very intense and hot afternoon sun can harm them. The amount of sunlight the plant receives can also depend largely on its location and surrounding trees, plants, and other structures. If you want the plant to stay healthy, you should try to give it a few hours of direct sunlight each day.
pruning
Doublefile viburnums should be pruned in early spring, right before they start to leaf out. Pruning should primarily focus on removing dead, diseased and damaged wood. It is best to avoid heavy pruning, as this may result in fewer flowers. To prune, simply remove any dead, diseased or broken branches. If the shrub is taking up too much room or encroaching on other plants, selectively thin out some of the stems. To keep the shrub an attractive shape, prune any overlapping branches that could be rubbing together. Lastly, prune any crossing or competing branches that could be taking up too much energy.
