Couldn't load pickup availability
Imagine a shrub all covered with popcorn balls! An awesome sight in bloom! This rounded shrub is vigorous but tight in habit with leathery, dark green foliage. Hundreds of 3" round popcorn ball flowers line every branch, virtually obscuring the foliage in the spring.
Autumn brings brilliant scarlet hues to the veined deep green leaves.
The rounded blooms are Irresistible to butterflies, standing out delightfully against attractive olive-green foliage. They last for weeks in mid- to late spring, and when they are past the attractive dark green foliage stays fresh into summer.
This variety sets no fruit, concentrating all its energy on blooms.
Product Features
Showy White Flowers
The plant produces clusters of snowball-like white flowers in spring, which resemble hydrangea blooms. These blooms are sterile, meaning they do not develop into berries, making the plant primarily ornamental.
Seasonal Color Interest
- Spring: Profuse white blooms create a stunning display.
- Summer: Deep green foliage provides a lush backdrop in the garden.
- Fall: Leaves often turn shades of burgundy, red, or purple, adding to its seasonal appeal.
Compact Size
Typically, it grows to a manageable size of 8–12 feet tall and wide, making it suitable for smaller gardens and urban landscapes.
Non-Invasive Nature
Unlike some viburnum species that produce berries and can self-seed prolifically, the Japanese Snowball Viburnum is sterile, making it a non-invasive choice for gardens.
