A wonderful Viburnum shrub, perfect for small gardens, Viburnum x carlcephalum has a bushy, open growth habit. Popular for its heavily scented globes of snow white flowers in summer that open from pink buds. The flowers are gently flushed with pink and arrive slightly later than some other Viburnum. This variety starts with a vase like shape but matures into the full, round form that makes Viburnum shrubs perfect for screening purposes.
Fragrant Snowball is often planted near paths and patios so the aroma can be enjoyed by passersby. Not only does Viburnum Carlcephalum boast colourful spring buds and scented summer flowers, it also produces red autumn berries before the leaves turn reddy purple, displaying vibrant autumn colour. Fragrant Snowball Viburnum reaches a final height and spread of approximately 2 x 2 metres and is best planted in a moist yet well-drained site in full sun or partial shade.
