Steady Eddy™ is a striking, reliable repeat bloomer with elegant, lacy, white flowers. It is difficult to believe that there is an improved ‘Summer Snowflake’ but Steady Eddy™ is a stronger bloomer. It flowers for a long time in spring and again in summer. A deciduous shrub, it has dark green, glossy, deep-veining leaves. It grows to a height of 48-60 inches with a spread of 48-60 inches. This space-saving shrub is low maintenance.
The horizontal growth habit of the branches provides a peerless architectural feature in the landscape. The flowers grow along the branches in rows or files, hence the name doublefile viburnum. It has no serious insect or disease problems. It is deer and rabbit resistant while attracting pollinators. Steady Eddy™ has a space-saving habit, growing half the size of conventional viburnums, making it suitable for smaller spaces. Use it in the border, for mass plantings, or as a specimen or focal point. Its flowering branches make a lovely filler for cut flower arrangements.
Steady Eddy Viburnum Care
This is a low maintenance shrub for zones 5-8. Plant it in moist, well-drained soil with mulch around the roots to keep them cool. Water consistently. Viburnums are not heavy feeders but, to help support growth and overall health of the plant, you may feed them after they bloom with a slow-release shrub and tree food.
Steady Eddy™ prefers part sun to sun locations. It adapts well to most soil types. Pruning is not necessary. You may remove the oldest stems every few years.
Steady Eddy Viburnum Spacing
In the landscape, in mass plantings for example, space plants 60 inches apart. When placing it in a border with other plants allow enough room for its spread of 48-60 inches.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
