Sterile Viburnum, Chinese Snowball

Sterile Viburnum is an early blooming upright multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with dense branching and glossy toothed bright green leaves that turn purple-red in fall. Large ball-like clusters of non-fragrant flowers open lime green before quickly maturing to pure white in spring.  Flowers best with full sun and moist, lightly acidic well-drained soils.  Drought tolerant once established.  Foliage is evergreen in the South but still earns fall color.
