Viburnum Description

Viburnums are a large group of flowering shrubs that bloom profusely in spring. Generally the bloom clusters are pure white, but some varieties have lovely hints of pink. The flowers can be quite different, some being fragrant and others having no scent at all. There are evergreen varieties and deciduous varieties so look closely when choosing to be sure you get what you want. The leaves vary by type and many Viburnums have exciting berries in blues, purples, and reds. The deciduous varieties have vibrant fall colors. There are a spectrum of sizes from dwarf to large to choose from. All Viburnums are low maintenance, deer tolerant, and pest and disease resistant. These pretty shrubs attract Butterflies.

The Chinese Snowball Bush is a reblooming variety of Viburnum with rounded white flower clusters similar to a hydrangea.

The Viburnum Macrocephalum ‘Sterile’ makes a lovely focal or specimen shrub as well as a gorgeous hedge or screen. Plant in full sun or part shade.
