V. opulus 'Roseum'

Viburnum opulus 'Roseum' (Snowball Viburnum) is a stunning deciduous shrub prized for its large, rounded clusters of pure white flowers that resemble classic snowballs. Blooming in late spring, these show-stopping flower heads bring elegant seasonal interest to any garden space. The flowers gradually take on a delicate pink flush as they fade, adding a subtle variation in colour that enhances the visual appeal.

This cultivar typically reaches 2 to 4 meters in height and spread, forming a broad, rounded shrub with maple-like lobed foliage that offers good autumn colour, often turning shades of orange and red. Unlike the species, 'Roseum' is sterile, producing no berries, which makes it an excellent choice in ornamental gardens where fruit drop or mess is unwanted.

Viburnum opulus 'Roseum' thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to various soil types, preferring well-drained but moderately moist soils. It is hardy to frost and deer resistant, making it a reliable and low-maintenance addition to borders, hedges, or as a standalone specimen plant.
