Snowball vibirnumFor several years now, the spring highlight of the garden at our Arlington store has been the Chinese snowball viburnum. It is such a beautiful specimen, probably 15 feet tall. This old-fashioned shrub is planted in a spot where it is getting very little direct sunlight. In February, the flower clusters start forming in a striking chartreuse color. By mid-March large hundreds of 6 to 8 inch snow-white blossoms cover the shrub. It is stunning.

It all ended overnight. The rain and wind knocked off most of the blossoms. It was sad – and yet so beautiful…Snowball fallout
