  • Description

  • Notes

One of the old-fashioned "snowball bushes" that has been a garden favorite for centuries, this plant is best known for its large heads of sterile flowers that open green and mature to ivory white. These blooms may last for weeks, but they result in no fruit. It is a large-growing, rounded shrub that may reach 12 feet tall and wide. Leaves are bright green during the summer, and turn a purplish red in the fall
