Common Snowball Vivurnum (Bare Root) 18-24"
Common Snowball Viburnum is a deciduous shrub known for its large, round clusters of white, snowball-like flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. The shrub has a broad, rounded shape and is highly valued for its stunning floral display. As the flowers fade, they are followed by attractive red berries (that are not edible for humans but may attract birds). Its rich green foliage turns yellow to red in the fall, providing additional seasonal interest. This variety is a popular choice for hedges, specimen plants, and large foundation plantings.
Mature Height:
6–8 feet (1.8–2.4 meters)
Spacing:
6–8 feet (1.8–2.4 meters) apart
Interesting Information:
The Common Snowball Viburnum is known for its large, globe-like flower clusters, which are made up of sterile florets, hence the 'sterile' variety name.
The flowers start as soft, creamy white and age into a crisp, pure white, making them a dramatic feature in the landscape.
The shrub's dark green foliage creates a nice backdrop for the flowers and provides an elegant contrast to the white blooms.
After flowering, the shrub produces ornamental red berries, which can persist into fall, adding visual interest even after the bloom period.
The plant is relatively low-maintenance, requiring only occasional pruning to shape and remove dead or damaged wood.
Viburnum opulus 'Sterile' is often used in formal garden designs or as a specimen plant due to its striking appearance and well-defined structure.
Grow Zone:
3–8
