Viburnum Opulus Sterile

Viburnum opulus 'Sterile', commonly known as the Snowball Tree or Snowball Bush, is a classic deciduous shrub loved for its spectacular round clusters of pure white flowers in late spring. The blooms emerge with a hint of fresh green before opening to form large, perfectly rounded white "snowballs" that cover the branches.

Its attractive maple-like green foliage provides a lush backdrop through summer before developing beautiful red, orange and burgundy tones in autumn. Hardy, reliable and relatively easy to grow, this old-fashioned favourite makes a fantastic feature shrub for cottage gardens, mixed borders and larger landscapes.

And despite all those snowballs, thankfully there's no shovelling required.
