Description
Viburnum macrocephalum (Snowball Viburnum) is a deciduous, flowering shrub prized for its large, showy clusters of snowball-like blooms. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, this multi-stemmed shrub typically grows 8–12 feet tall and wide, forming a rounded, dense habit that serves as a striking focal point in the landscape.
In late spring, enormous globular clusters of pure white sterile flowers cover the shrub, creating a dramatic display. The flowers are followed by inconspicuous fruit, and medium to dark green foliage fills the plant through summer. In fall, leaves may show subtle bronze to burgundy hues in cooler climates before dropping.
Ideal for foundation plantings, specimen displays, mass plantings, and mixed borders, Viburnum macrocephalum offers exceptional spring floral impact and reliable landscape performance.
