Viburnum opulus 'Roseum' · aka snowball viburnum, guelder rose
Viburnum opulus 'Roseum' — snowball viburnum — produces round bloom clusters that shift from acid green to pure white over the vase week. Long, strong stems make it a wedding-arch and installation favourite. One of the few pure-green cut flowers, and unmatched for the effect.
