Viburnum - Common Snowball Bush
Viburnum - Common Snowball Bush The Common Snowball Bush, Viburnum opulus 'roseum', has been a garden favorite for centuries because it produces “balls of snow” in late spring. The large, showy, spherical clusters of white or green-tinted white sterile blossoms that sometime turn pink. They appear in masses on this deciduous, hardy, thicket-forming Old World shrub. Have a snowball fight in June! Kids and adults alike love this rounded plant with its great supply of flowers. Birds, particularly Cedar Waxwings, are very fond of the berries, and can often be found snacking during the winter. Common Snowball Bush refers well-drained loam and full sun or part shade; established shrubs thrive with minimal care. In the fall, the leaves turn a wonderful burgundy reddish-purple. About the same time, the bright red, attractive berries ripen, and persist on the plant throughout the winter. * Hardy * Profuse bloomer * Fall Color * Berries for wildlife

| Rhododendron - Holden - Sale Price: $96.95 The Rhododendron 'Holden', Rhododendron 'Holden', is a compact growing Rhododendron with glossy dark green foliage. The narrow leaves remain dark green throughout the winter. Its rosy-red funnel-shaped flowers bloom midseason and are held in conical-shaped trusses. The flowers are lightly scented.
