Japanese Snowball Mariesii (Viburnum plicatum)

Japanese Snowball Mariesii is a deciduous shrub with an elegant, tiered branching habit and large, lacecap-like clusters of white flowers in late spring. Growing to about 2-3m tall, it adds a graceful presence to the garden and is perfect for use as a specimen plant or in mixed borders. The dark green foliage turns a rich red in autumn, adding seasonal beauty. This Viburnum thrives in full sun to part shade and well-drained soil.
