Snowball bush refers to several plants in the Viburnum genus that bloom in snowball-like clusters of flowers. The bush is a deciduous woody shrub with leaves that are shaped like maple leaves. It can grow 6 to 10 feet tall and spread 6 to 12 feet wide.
Flowers
Snowball bush flowers are showy white clusters that bloom in spring to early summer. The large ball is made up of dozens of small flowers.
Preferences
Snowball bushes prefer deep, moist soil that is well-drained. They like full sun to partial shade. They need protection from the afternoon heat during the summer.
Care
Snowball bushes should be planted in the fall or spring while dormant. Keep the snowball bush well watered during the summer. Prune the bush after it blossoms in order to create a compact bush.
Use
Snowball bushes work well alone or as a border. Cut the blossoms to use in fresh and dried flower arrangements.
Propagation
The snowball bush is a sterile shrub that does not produce seeds. It spreads easily from its roots or by cuttings.
