Mariesii Doublefile Viburnum - Viburnum plicatum ‘Mariesii’

The whole point of Viburnum plicatum ‘Mariesii’ is its architecture. Branches are held in flat horizontal tiers, and in spring the white lacecap flower heads sit on top of each layer in two neat rows, giving the shrub its wedding cake profile. It is deciduous, so it delivers something different in every season rather than the flat green wall a clipped evergreen provides, which is why designers reach for it against rendered walls, in courtyards and along shaded entry paths.

Why Mariesii Doublefile Viburnum

Tiered Branching: The horizontal layering is genetic, not pruned in, and it holds its shape without any training.
Doublefile Flowering: Flat white lacecaps line the upper side of each branch through October and November, so the display is read from above rather than face on.
Autumn Colour: Foliage turns burgundy to plum before leaf fall in cool and temperate districts.
Shade Performance: It flowers well with only morning sun, which makes it useful on south and east aspects where most flowering shrubs sulk.
Pest Resistance: Unlike the laurustinus viburnums it is rarely troubled by thrips, and needs no routine spraying.

Ideal Applications

Courtyard Feature: A single plant against a pale wall reads as a piece of sculpture for eight months of the year.
Layered Shrub Border: Its flat top makes a natural mid layer between taller trees and low groundcover.
Understorey Planting: Sits happily beneath established deciduous canopy where dappled light reaches it in spring.
Informal Screen: Planted in a run it forms a soft, wide, layered barrier that never needs shearing.

Specimen & Installation

Spacing (screening/hedge): 2 to 2.5m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 3 to 4m
Best Planting Season: Autumn through to early spring is ideal, though container grown stock establishes any time outside the peak of summer
Soil & Drainage: Moist, humus rich, free draining soil, slightly acidic to neutral. It will not tolerate waterlogging or hot dry root zones, so improve heavy clay and sandy soils with compost before planting
Establishment Care: Water deeply twice a week through the first two summers rather than lightly every day, so roots chase moisture downwards. Keep 75mm of coarse mulch over the root zone, pulled back clear of the stems, and resist any pruning beyond removing damaged wood because cutting into the tiers destroys the form.

Good To Know

Questions, answered

What exactly is included in the price?

Everything for a standard installation: the plant itself, free specialist delivery to your property, and professional installation by our planting team into prepared or accessible ground, with no freight fees added later. If your site needs a crane or other difficult access work, that is quoted separately and agreed with you before anything is booked, never after. Difficult access has its own question on this page.

How does installation work?

After you order, our team contacts you to confirm site access and book a day that suits. On the day, your plants arrive by specialist freight and our installers position, plant, stake and mulch them, then leave the site tidy.

When will my order arrive?

Most orders are delivered and planted within 2 to 4 weeks of your booking call. After checkout, our team contacts you to confirm details and book the delivery and planting day, so you have a date before anything ships. Timing can vary with stock location and your area, and we confirm your exact day with you.

What if my site has tricky access?

Standard installation covers planting into accessible ground and is included in every price. If your site involves cranes, tight access or special machinery, we assess it with you after you order and agree on everything before any work begins. Always before, never after.

Do you offer a plant guarantee?

Yes, and it runs well past delivery day. Every plant is inspected before dispatch and protected in transit, and we guarantee it arrives alive and in reasonable condition. Beyond that you have a 30 day plant guarantee, and a 1 year conditional replacement warranty: if a plant fails within 12 months of delivery despite following our care recommendations, you can submit a claim for assessment. Claims need photographs of the plant and the planting site plus details of watering, drainage and soil, because living plants depend on the conditions they are put into. The full terms are in our refund policy.

What if the exact plant or size I order is not available?

Every plant is sourced to order from our grower network, so before anything ships we call you to confirm the exact stock we have secured, the size and the delivery day. If the plant you chose is not available in the size you wanted, we tell you on that call and go through the options with you, whether that is a different size, a close alternative or waiting for the right stock. Nothing is loaded onto a truck before you know what is coming. Full details are in our refund policy.

Can I plant outside the best planting season?

Yes. We deliver and plant all year round. The best planting season shown on each listing is about ideal establishment, not a restriction: planting in that window usually means less watering and a faster settling in period. Our team adjusts how a plant is installed and watered in for the conditions on the day, and if you are planting through peak summer heat or a cold snap we will talk you through the extra care it needs on your booking call.

Will this plant suit my climate?

Australia covers a lot of climates, and a plant that thrives in Brisbane can struggle in Ballarat. Every listing states the mature size, the light it wants and where the species comes from. If you are not certain a plant suits your frost, heat, wind or coastal exposure, send us an enquiry before you order and we will tell you honestly whether it is right for your site. We would rather talk you out of the wrong plant than replace it later.

Can I order for a large project?

Yes. For project quantities and commercial supply, use the Request Project Pricing button on any product and our sourcing team will put together a complete package: supplied, delivered and installed.
