Summer Snowflake Viburnum produces an abundance of pretty, white flower clusters from April to frost! One of only a few shrubs that blooms all season. Most useful in the landscape as a free standing specimen shrub or small tree. Will grow in full sun provided there is adequate moisture during summer dry spells. Some afternoon shade is appreciated. Attractive bright red berries in late Summer are followed by wine-red Fall foliage. A must in every landscape where it will grow (zones 5 to 8).
