Viburnum 'Summer Snowflake' (Japanese Snowball Bush)
White flowers followed by black fruits. (Deciduous)
Common Name: Japanese Snowball Bush
Latin Name: Viburnum plicatum 'Summer Snowflake'
Soil: Moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil
Position: Full sun or partial shade
Flowering period/colour: May to June/ White
Hardiness: Fully hardy
Eventual height/ spread: 3m/3m
Special features: Black fruits follow flowers.
This attractive shrub is useful for its lengthy flowering season which starts in May or June and can continue for two or more months. In its early years it is a broadly oval shrub, but as it matures the branches develop into tiers, and, when these are covered with snowy domed shaped flower clusters, the effect is dramatic. The leaves are dark green, plump, elongated with a pointed tip, and somewhat leathery.
This shrub is supplied in a 3 litre container suitable for year round planting.
