When I first received my order I was concerned because they didn’t look alive, but three days after planting them they had leaf buds all over them. And now a week later they look great. I’m so excited for them to mature.

About this plant
Snowball Viburnum (Viburnum opulus) stands out as one of the most eye-catching flowering shrubs in American gardens, thanks to its large, round clusters of white blooms that look like fluffy snowballs.
At TN Nursery, we have over 65 years of experience growing hardy, landscape-ready shrubs that thrive across the country. Our family-run nursery, founded in 1959 and trusted by notable institutions such as the Washington Monument and Arlington National Cemetery, offers plants backed by real horticultural experience, expertise, authority, and trustworthiness.
This popular shrub adds a burst of spring color with its large, globe-shaped white flowers, often up to 3 inches in diameter. Snowball Viburnum blooms heavily and reliably, bringing bright, elegant color to your garden. Its green leaves look good all summer and turn warm shades in the fall, so you get beauty in every season. Many homeowners use it for foundation plantings, borders, cottage gardens, or as a standout feature that comes back year after year.
TN Nursery sends you freshly dug bare-root shrubs with strong root systems, so they settle in quickly and grow well. Bare-root shrubs adjust more quickly to your soil, experience less transplant shock, and develop a sturdy structure over time. We select each viburnum for its cold hardiness, disease resistance, and abundant blooms, so you receive healthy shrubs that reflect our years of hands-on experience.
Snowball Viburnum grows best in full sun or partial shade and likes fertile, well-drained soil. It can handle different soil types, including clay and loam, and becomes drought-tolerant once it’s settled in. For the most blooms, plant it where it gets at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight. Adding mulch helps keep the soil moist and supports healthy roots.
This dimerplate shrub helps pollinators, such as bees and other beneficial insects, during its large spring bloom. Birds also use its branches for shelter, making your yard healthier and more diverse. At TN Nursery, we’re committed to native and eco-friendly plants, so our viburnums help you create a garden that’s good for wildlife and the environment.
