Fragrant Snowball Viburnum

Fragrant Snowball Viburnum (Viburnum x carlcephalum) is a beautiful deciduous shrub renowned for its large, fragrant flower clusters and attractive foliage. It is a hybrid plant resulting from a cross between two Viburnum species. The Fragrant Snowball Viburnum typically grows to a height and width of 6 to 10 feet and has a rounded, dense form. One of its most notable features is the clusters of showy, spherical flowers that appear in late spring or early summer. These flowers start as pink buds and gradually open into exquisite, fragrant white blossoms, creating a stunning visual and olfactory display in the garden. The dark green leaves of the shrub provide an attractive backdrop for the flowers and turn a lovely burgundy color in the fall, adding to the plant's seasonal interest. Fragrant Snowball Viburnum is relatively easy to grow and thrives in well-drained soil with consistent moisture. It prefers full sun to partial shade conditions and benefits from regular pruning to maintain its shape and promote optimal flowering. As the name suggests, the flowers emit a delightful fragrance, which attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators to the garden. The shrub's large size and eye-catching flowers make it an excellent choice for borders, hedges, or as a focal point in the landscape. With its enchanting fragrance and beautiful blooms, Fragrant Snowball Viburnum is sure to bring charm and elegance to any garden setting.
