Japanese Snowball-Silk Flower-ss114

The Japanese snowball flower is a shrub that blooms in spring, and its official name is Viburnum, which is different from another hydrangea that resembles a snowball, Hydrangea. The fact is that snowball flowers are very similar to white hydrangea, with similar leaves. However, snowball flowers bloom earlier, mostly in late spring and early summer. Hydrangea blooms almost a month later, blooming from the end of June and after July. In addition, snowball flowers are generally taller than hydrangea, and can be more than ten feet tall, more like shrubs. Hydrangeas are generally only herbaceous, at best they are small shrubs.

The white petals of the snowball flower will not bear fruit, only the small flower in the middle will bear fruit. The snowball flower Viburnum plicatum that is generally sold cannot reproduce, so it will not have berries. If you want to have berries, you must plant two or more varieties of snowball flowers Viburnum plicatumvar. tomentosum at similar distances, and they will be sold at the same time in general gardening stores.
