Viburnum carlcephalum

Snowball Shrub

This upright, deciduous shrub has an open and loose habit. When this shrub is blooming, it perfumes your entire garden. Large clusters of very fragrant flowers appear in late spring on this 1,8 x 1,8 m shrub. Burgundy fall color adds another season of interest. Dark green leaves turn reddish purple in the fall. Pink buds change to white flower clusters in late April to early May. Slow to medium growth rate. Pest and disease free.
