Snowball Bush
Vibernum opulus 'Roseum'
Hardy to zone 3
Also known as European Snowball. Grow in full sun to partial shade. Prefers a moist location and adapts to most soils. Prune in early summer, after its flowering has finished. The large spherical flowers open apple green and then turn white. Cut flowers for bouquets when they are still slightly green and they will last for two weeks. Thin out older stems to rejuvenate the shrub and keep it looking tidy. Grows 2.4-3 meters (8-10 feet) tall and wide.
