Viburnum macrocephalum
Come mid-April, the Chinese Viburnum droops with perfectly round, 8", white snowball-type flower clusters that make astonishing cut arrangements.
Not only does Chinese snowball viburnum make a stunning garden plant, but it’s also worth its weight in gold as a cut flower.
Give this plant elbow room because it can reach a height of 15' with a lesser spread of 10'. It needs well-drained soil and shelter from cold, drying winds.
