Chinese Snowball Viburnum is a moderate growing shrub that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 6A through 9B. It matures to an average height of 10 feet to 12 feet and an average width of 6 feet to 8 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides full sun, morning sun with afternoon shade or morning shade with afternoon sun and grows best when planted in sand, loam, clay or silt soil that is well drained. It attracts visual attention and is resistant to deer, insects, diseases and heat.
Chinese Snowball Viburnum can be useful in the landscape in foundation plantings, as a background, in shrub borders, around decks, swimming pools, and other outdoor living areas, as a focal point, in landscape beds or islands or as a tree form shrub and also in cottage gardens or shade gardens.
There simply aren't too many flowering shrubs that rival the Chinese Snowball Viburnum when in full bloom. In spring, Snowball Viburnum produces an abundance of giant, snowball-like, white flower clusters that are 6 to 8 inches in diameter! The flower clusters nearly cover all the branches on this shrub or small tree which grows 10 to 15' tall with an equal spread. Flowers are useful both fresh or dried in bouquets. The Chinese Snowball Viburnum is a Georgia Gold Medal winner that deserves a spot in every landscape where it will grow: USDA Zones 6A-9B.

Culture
The Snowball Viburnum is very easy to grow when planted in a location that provides well-drained but moist soils and sun or partial shade. It is very low maintenance requiring little if any pruning. It will tolerate dry spells but in severe drought it will benefit from supplemntal irrigation.
Have been trying to locate this variety for a while, not available in local nurseries, thrilled to find it at ToGoGarden!!
Product arrived in great condition. Thank you!
Blooming lavishly and beautifully the first year, despite unexpected frosts which kills the first buds!
