The Common Snowball Bush, Viburnum opulus sterile 'roseum', produces white flowers in late spring. It is a deciduous thicket forming Old World shrub. In the fall, the leaves turn a wonderful burgundy reddish purple. About the same time, the bright red, attractive berries ripen, and persist on the plant throughout the winter. Birds, particularly Cedar Waxwings, are very fond of the berries, and can often be found snacking during the winter. Have a snowball fight in June! Kids and adults a like love this rounded plant with masses of flowers. Grows best in full sun to partial shade.
