The Snowball viburnum, native to North Africa, northern Asia and continental Europe, is a shrub commonly found in our flowerbeds. Viburnum prefers damp, cool and humus soils (woods, marshes, stream banks). Its shape is rounded. It rises on a very branched trunk of approximately two meters. The branches are covered with an ashy bark.
When mature, the snowball viburnum can reach a height of between 2 and 4 meters high. The deciduous, palmate (3 lobes) and toothed leaves, green above, whitish and slightly hairy below, turn a superb purple-red in autumn.
The white flowers appear in May. They group together in large umbels, forming superb more or less rounded snowballs, hence the name!
In the fall comes the fruit season. These are small, shiny red berries that can stay on the tree well into the winter. Very hardy for zone 3a
