Fragrant Viburnum 'Snowball'

Viburnum opulus roseum

This is a deciduous ornamental shrub prized for its showy, ball-shaped white flower clusters that bloom in late spring. This hardy shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and reaches 8–10 feet tall and wide at maturity, making it ideal for hedges, borders, or specimen plantings. Cold hardy in zones 3–8, it adapts well to Ontario's climate and performs best in moist, well-draining soil. Lightly fragrant blooms attract pollinators and develop into decorative red berries that persist into fall.
