The flowering times are as diverse as the types of viburnum. In this genus of plants you will find both shrubs that bloom in spring and those that bloom in winter.
The winter or bodnant viburnum shows its pink flowers in wintertime
With a clever selection of your plants, you can enjoy a more or less large abundance of flowers practically all year round. The snowball can be combined well with other shrubs to form a privacy or bird protection hedge. The fruits serve as winter food for many bird species.
The flowering time of the different species:
- Japanese snowball: from May
- Wrinkled Viburnum: May and June
- Common snowball: May to August
- Scented snowball: October to March or April
- Winter or Bodnant snowball: from November
- Laurel Snowball: November to April
