http://meephe.notlong.com/ 27 May 2007 Viburnum opulus 'Roseum' European Snowball Bush. There are two European Snowball Bush shrubs on the property, one in front and one in the main garden. 'Roseum' has only the large sterile flowers, which results in a big round three-inch pompom. The result is almost a perfect snowball. This plant is most attractive in full bloom, and lasts for about three weeks. No care is required, and the green vegetation is attractive after the balls have disappeared.
Good fall color too. However, often prone to aphids curling the leaves and may also be subject to viburnum leaf beetles chewing them.
