Features:

The
thing that sets Summer
Snowflake apart from other
viburnums is that it is
a repeat bloomer. Admittedly,
the first bloom of the
season is much more showy
than the ones to follow,
but about once a month,
additional blooms pop
out here and there on
the ends of new growth
all the way until frost!
A wonderful specimen and
great alternative for
the hard-to-grow white
dogwood. |
