Notes
'Roseum' Japanese snowball (Viburnum plicatum 'Roseum') is a shrub for borders, specimen planting, hedges, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. White blooms age to pink in early to late spring and attract butterflies and bees. It grows fast into a dense shrub and gives fall color, so leave plenty of room for its wide spread.
Pairs well with Charles Joly lilac, Spiked speedwell, Cheerfulness daffodil, and Spotted dead nettle.
