Great Snowball Bush
Great Snowball Bush (Viburnum Macrocephalum) - A Chinese species, not very hardy, with enormous flower clusters. In some places it thrives against a wall, and in the south as a bush. Fortune saw it 20 feet high in Chusan.

Doublefile and snowball are considered large shrubs. Mature plants grow about 8-12' tall and wide. Most plants are easy to identify from a distance by the characteristic layered branching.

The old-fashioned name of Snowball Viburnum applied to two white-flowering members of this genus: Sterile European Cranberrybush (Viburnum opulus 'Roseum') and Doublefile Viburnum (Viburnum plicatum, the sterile "species" form).
'Boule de Neige' Roses (Introduced - 1867) When the double white flowers of 'Boule de Neige' (ball of snow) are fully open, the outer petals roll back at the tips, which does give the blossoms a rounded, snowball-like look.
Opening in late April, the snowball like clusters of waxy flowers start pink, then gradually fade to white. Their intoxicating fragrance fills the springtime air for about 10 days, then disappear as the leaves fully emerge.
