Viburnum plicatum First Editions© ‘Opening Day©’ is a compact, well-structured shrub developed to bring the classic layered form of plicatum viburnums into more manageable garden spaces. Its branches rise in neat horizontal tiers, creating a tidy, upright outline that remains balanced throughout the year. In late spring, softly coloured buds appear along the branch levels and gradually open to pale flowers, providing a gentle display that complements rather than overwhelms the plant’s form. The pleated foliage maintains a clean appearance through summer before softening in autumn. Designed for gardens where space and structure matter equally, ‘Opening Day©’ offers architectural clarity and seasonal interest with very little need for intervention.
