Viburnum plicatum (see C363 herein) is commonly called Japanese snowball. It is a dense, upright, multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub that typically matures to 10-15 tall and as wide. It is noted for producing snowball-like, spherical inflorescences (terminal cymes) of sterile, non-fragrant, white flowers along the branches in spring (May). No fruit is produced. Ovate, toothed, dull dark green leaves (to 4î long). ëRoseum grows somewhat less aggressively than species plants. Flowers appear in flattened cymes, with the sterile flowers emerging white but aging to deep pink. Reddish to bronze-purple fall color.
