The Chinese Snowball Viburnum is a beautiful deciduous shrub that offers an impressive show all year round. It flourishes in USDA zones 6-9, preferring well-drained soil and a location that receives full to partial sunlight. This adaptable shrub can reach heights and widths of 8-12 feet, making it an excellent choice for expansive landscapes as well as cozy garden areas. The lush green foliage offers continuous appeal, creating a vibrant setting for its stunning flowers. In spring, the shrub erupts with large, white, hydrangea-like clusters, creating a stunning contrast against the lush green leaves.

This shrub is perfect for decorative purposes, whether used as a standout feature, a privacy hedge, or incorporated into a diverse garden border. This plant is beloved by pollinators, drawing in bees and butterflies with its delightful fragrance. Although the Chinese Snowball Viburnum is typically resistant to deer, it's wise to keep an eye out for any browsing in regions where deer are abundant. This plant is also safe for pets, making it an excellent option for households with furry friends.

Overall Care:
When planting the Chinese Snowball Viburnum, create a hole that is twice the width of the root ball and a bit deeper. Enhance the soil by incorporating organic matter to boost drainage and fertility. Ensure you water consistently to maintain soil moisture, particularly in dry periods, but be cautious not to overdo it. Apply mulch around the base to help retain moisture and keep the roots nice and cool. After the shrub has finished blooming, take the time to prune it for shaping and to eliminate any dead or damaged branches. Apply a balanced fertilizer SR-18-5-10 in early spring to encourage robust growth and lively flowers.
