Imagine having a breathtaking winter wonderland in your garden during spring. The European Snowball Viburnum, or the Viburnum Opulus Roseum, makes that dream a reality. With round, white flower groupings that mimic snowballs, the feeling of refreshing winter snow can be achieved in the warmer months of the year. Growing vigorously during the middle of May, each “snowball” grows to be about 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter and remarkably stands out against the shrub’s vibrant green leaves. Upon reaching maturity, this shrub can grow up to 15 feet in height and 18 feet in width.

The deciduous European Snowball Viburnum’s flowers begin blooming with an apple green colour before transforming to bright white. With a medium growth rate, you can expect your shrub to grow approximately 2 feet per year. You can use them for group planting in hedges, borders, and entranceways.
