Snowball Viburnum Shrubs for Sale Online
Snowball Bush (Viburnum opulus 'Sterile') is a spectacular landscape specimen that is most known for its large, pure white, snowball-like flower clusters. You may mistake this shrub for Annabelle Hydrangea; however, this Snowball Bush grows much taller and wider than Hydrangea. If you are looking to make a stand-out impact but want an easy-to-care-for shrub, this ornamental flowering Viburnum is just the plant you need.
The blooms appear in masses in May or June, depending on your growing area. Some blooms will even produce a pink cast as the flowers mature. Dark green, maple-shaped foliage acts as the perfect contrasting backdrop for the flower clusters. In autumn, leaves produce a beautiful fall display of purplish-red colors.
