Description
Summer Snowflake Viburnum is one of a very few ornamental shrubs that blooms all season long in our gardens, producing a flush of beautiful, white, lacecap-like flower clusters every month from April through October! Attractive bright red berries in late summer are enjoyed by the birds and are followed by wine-red fall foliage. The specimen in our gardens has taken on a natural form similar to that of the native dogwood tree. In spring, when in full bloom, visitors to the gardens who see it from a distance mistake it for a dogwood…until upon closer inspection they see the beautiful lacecap flowers.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 8 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide at maturity, the Summer Snowflake Viburnum can be grown as a large shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a very attractive small tree ideal for use as an eye-catching specimen or groupings in landscape and flowering shrub borders. Also useful to frame corners of homes and entryways or as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings . A welcome addition to cut flower gardens, white theme gardens, wildlife gardens, and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 5 to 6 feet apart for solid hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants.
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Viburnum variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Viburnum is very easy to grow in most any moist but well drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. It prefers a loamy soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants it does not like constantly soggy or wet conditions. Quite drought tolerant when established and we’ve seen no serious pest or disease problems. Deer haven’t touched it in our gardens. For best flowering, at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day is suggested. Responds very well to pruning for shaping, size control and tree forming. Prune as needed immediately after flowering.

My plant came in great shape. That is something I like about your nursery. It can’t be put in the ground yet, as it is still too cold here. So for now it is in the house close to a south window looking healthy.———————————Thanks for the kind words!! We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review!

We ordered two one-gallon viburnums from your nursery at different times this summer. Both varieties arrived healthy looking and larger than expected. The Summer Snowflake had small bloom sets on it! Every plant we have ordered from Wilson Bros over the past two years has been healthy and grown very well.
Ordering from your nursery is so much easier than traveling to one or more area nurseries, or risking the “hit or miss” of some other online nurseries and big box retailers who offer plants online. We also really appreciate the detailed plant descriptions provided on the website. Keep up the good work!——————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!

The viburnum arrived in good shape. They were planted immediately and are doing well so far.
I have grown the lovely spring flowering viburnums for years so how could I resist one that flowers in the summer as well! It is gorgeous…it arrived covered in blooms! And you guys are the kings of plant packers…the best I have seen! You all are the greatest! Thank you for all of the hard work you put into your love of plants and the desire to please your customers.———————————–Hi Sheryl, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Summer Snowflake Viburnum.
