Snowball Bush - Viburnum plicatum 'Mariesii'

If you have room for a large, wide-spreading shrub, this is one of the best multi-season shrubs you can grow!

Doublefile viburnum develops a branching pattern with strong horizontal layers as it matures. This creates an interesting winter framework. It is difficult for any other shrub to match the brilliant floral display in the spring. Its branches are smothered with flat sprays of pure white flowers, giving the impression of snow-laden branches. Later in summer clusters of red berries rest where flowers once stood. Fall brings on a fiery autumnal show of saturated reds. It is wide spreading, so give it plenty of space to develop its spectacular form. For smaller spaces consider removing lower branches to create a small multi-stemmed tree.
