Chinese snowball viburnum
Viburnum macrocephalum
Overview
Chinese snowball viburnum (Viburnum macrocephalum) is an ornamental flowering shrub native to East Asia that produces the beautiful, distinct 'snowball' shaped flowers. During the spring and summer, it produces large clusters of white flowers, which mature into stunning pink and red fruits that remain for 4 to 8 months. The dark, glossy, dark green leaves form a dense canopy, providing excellent shade during the summer months. The shrub can reach a height of up to 10 feet with a spread of 10 feet. It can be grown in full sun or partial shade, as well as in a variety of soil types. Excellent in groupings and as a specimen plant, Chinese snowball viburnum is an excellent addition to any garden!
