Please teach me your ways, because I have my great-great-grandmother snowball plant in my parents yard currently and we cannot seem to get it to grow any larger!!! It's over 100 years old.
Hi where i could get some of does plants for my house
I got a Snowball plant on sale and I’m going to plant it hope it oki am from Washington state on in July 2
Watching rom GA! But I have a popcorn Vibernum (smaller fist sized blooms)
Watching from NC!
I never seen snowball plants before, but a week ago I bumped into one at Home Depot. Just one, hiding among hydrensia. I don’t like white flowers, but liked that flowers on picture looked almost identical to hydrensia.We live in Northen Nevada and hydros do not survive here. So, I was actually happy to find out that snowballs are hardy. And your information was very helpfull. Size of your shrub gave me even more excitement. Interstingly that we are in the same 5 zone, but we have late snow for couple days. Can't wait for planting my snowball
I have these and I love them. After a big rain I go out and give the branches a good jiggle to get the extra water out of the blooms which weighs down the branches and makes them get saggy and lean down. Mine get full sun and are 15 ft apart with roses and perennials in between. I highly recommend these especially if you want to fill a large space or want a gorgeous privacy screen.
It’s good to know these flowers work well in arrangements.
They really do. I was so surprised snowball bush viburnum lasted so long 🌸
Hi Kelly! I have a Chinese snowball viburnum that exploded with blooms the third year. But the blooms smelled really bad, lol! I don’t know if I need to cut them while they’re green to enjoy them. And I think it’s the Chinese snowball in particular. It grows well in poor soil, full sun and drought conditions (Dallas area). How wonderful that you are sharing your beautiful flowers with the church to celebrate first communion!
That is so interesting since another flower tribe member also commented on the smell . The ones I have here seem like they have no smell . I guess it's a different variety then the Chinese snowball . Thank you for your very informative snowball bush viburnum comment . 👍👏🤗
Thank you for checking in from the Dallas area 🌸👍👏🤗🌍
Maybe it's Blue Muffin Viburnum- stinky
Great video. I’m in Canada and just planted a few of these in my very large yard. I hope they produce the same gorgeous flowers yours are giving. Thanks!
Same here
You are making light of a serious matter. Invasive plants, like Bradford pears, ARE a big deal. In the spring, Bradford pears are ubiquitous in New England …mile after mile on the side of highways.
Hi Kelly, I'm Michelle, I garden in zone 7a East TN. I just bought my 1st Snowball Viburnum. It was the last one at the garden center. Are there different Snowball viburnums? The leaves on yours are different from the one I bought. We get a lot of spring freezes here. They have names for each one at specific times of each month. I did lose some beautiful perennials this year due to the extreme warmth to the extreme cold and freeze. I did cover them too but sometimes it's mother nature. I'm hoping to find this plant here, it's gorgeous!
How sweet to have these beautiful flowers for the children's First Communion! They will be special memories . ❤
Is it normal for this bush to look droopy and have long stems without leaves near the center?
Can this be planted in the fall in zone 7?
absolutely 👍
North Carolina
Thank you for checking in from North Carolina 🌎👋😊🌸
My husvand bought me Japanese Virbanum to replace the dead dogwoid tree
Do you have any issue with Viburnum beetles? Thanks
I haven’t ? Is this something that affects your snowball bush viburnum? How do you handle them?
@@KellyLehman , I have to kill the larvae in early Spring, the beetles in Summer and cut the tricks with the eggs off in Fall. I didn't know to buy Snowball Viburnum variety that are less susceptible to Viburnum beetles 10 years ago. Now, my Snowball is too big and I'm lazy to replace it with another one. It's cucumbersome to deal with the Viburnum beetles every year, but the flowers are worth it.
Viburnum beetles wiped this plant out in my garden years ago. It was a favourite of my grandmother, but you never see it in the city anymore. I think this pest is devastating where it is common. Both the larvae and beetles defoliate the plant. Two defoliations a year is too much for a plant to handle. Too bad it is not growable in this area anymore. Previously, it was so easy and rewarding. Now, forget it.
I'm zone 7a and got the Eastern Snowball on clearance for $5! Mine bloom in early April but don't last very long. I've only had it for 2 years but it's already 6ft tall.
Holy cow ! $5 for a snowball bush - amazing ! Great score !
Did u planted in sun or shade?
@26MEG full sun for 8 - 10 hrs in the heat of summer but I water it if the leaves are drooping.
Bought one today on clearance. Going to plant it now!
So happy for you , you will love this plant 🌸🌸👍💃
Hi! I'm in Minnesota. I rescued 2 small shrubs from my town yard waste dump. 10" pots, They still have the store tags on them! I started researching and didn't know they got so big. But i have a huge empty backyard. Can't wait to see them next spring.
The reason Peonies don't transplant well is because people plant them too deep in the ground. The flowering stems need to be planted level with the ground that way the plant will flower the same season
Such good peony advice . Thank you 🌸🌸🤗
What do these look like in the winter? Are they just dead canes like hydrangea? And do you cut them back? Thanks
Your instincts are correct. They loose their leaves like the hydrangeas. I don't prune mine back but but you can prune it right after it the blooms turn brown in spring if you like . The snowball blooms come in on old wood .
@@KellyLehman thank you for the reply. I'm looking for a shrub that'll stay green all winter. Right now the bed in the front of my house is all dead in the cold months lol. I live in the northeast.
My snow ball viburnum started out fine this spring then all of a sudden no leaves and only 1 snow ball. I live in northern lower Michigan. What could of happened to it?
bought one of these fully in bloom in July. It immediatley went brown.....any tips
Profuse hydrangea like flowers and a Bernese in the thumbnail, easy click.
Thanks for sharing, mine snowball is doing very well in zone 9b😊
Can we visit your farm in New Jersey?
I actually live on the farm with my family so we don’t do tours at this time . I’ll continue to list lots of how to garden videos though . 🌸🤗
I live in zone 6B in the mountains in Jersey. I am looking for ideas to cover a North facing wall. I planted climbing hydrangeas & roses in June. Now I’m looking at viburnum, bayberry to stay in native plants…or a hedge : privet or winter boxwood. I heard azaleas are hard to grow in this area.
I just planted 1. I'm excited to see it flowering in the spring!
Wow, the are gorgeous. Really look like the Hydrangea 'Anabelle' we have. Greetings from Belgium.
You didn't tell how to grow them. Poor video
👋 Hi Kelly and Lucy!
This is another great flower from my childhood! I don't have one anymore, because at my new property there's just not enough room, because you are right, they can get massive! But I love them so! 🤍
Hi Suki ( Lust says hi too) , That's such a cool flower memory 🌸👍
I need to get me a snow ball viburnum
Yes indeed !
@@KellyLehman are those fragrant?
Be careful where you plant it! They can get huge!
Hi I am from Cantley Québec and I have 3 snowball shrubs. Your tips were very helpful. Thank you
I have one…
I thought she is a hydrangea…

Thanks for checking in from Sneads Ferry NorthCarolina with your Snowball bush viburnum🌸🤗🌍👏👋🌸👍
Hi Kelly!! I have an 90 year old viburnum, and just bought an new one!! They smell amazing!!!!!!! Thank you for your videos 🦋
Oh wow .That's amazing i didn't realize snowball viburnum could last so long !
Hi Kelly! Mary from WNY here. In the beginning of your video you said they didn’t bloom for a couple years. Well, I have learned, from some of my experienced gardening friends, that when you move a plant or plant a new one, not to be discouraged. Remember this saying… “First year they sleep, 2nd year creep, 3rd year leap.” Sometimes there is a 2 year creep, which I found out with my peonies, so having patience is crucial to gardening. This saying is , for the most part, true. There is always an exception, but I thought I’d share. ☺️
Hi Mary👋👋👋 Awesome advice . Yes I totally agree with that saying . Wonderful share . Keep em coming . 👏👏👏❤️❤️
How do you think they will do in TX?
Hmmm , not sure . If they sell them at your local garden centers, they should do well .
Mind is 7 years old. I had it in the shade for 3 years. Then moved it to sun. My dear ate the top but it never gets any bigger never had any flowers. It’s pretty and green . What should I do? I got one from someone last year it was doing good, I put the pot out in the sun so I could plant it . But it burn the leaves. Depressed
I moved to a property where one is growing and it's estimated to be between 15-20 yrs old, according to my neighbor. It's thinning at the top and there's a lot of dead wood in there which I plan to trim after the flowers are gone. Right now in mid-May, the new lime colored snowballs are popping up. The flowers on my tree do not get as big as the ones you showed. Not sure if that's a different variety or other factor. I am trying to root some new ones, so it's good to know how long they take to produce blooms.
Do you sell this at your store?
I have a baby one, and I really want to plant it in my front yard in a flowerbed that came in the front of the house by the window. Can I keep trimming it so it won’t get humongous for that area? 😂
Tnx❤
Can y'all send me a catalog with flowers and different color flowers
So sorry but I don’t have a catalog but you’ve just inspired me to create a video showing the names of various flowers to help gardeners identify the blooms . Thank you 🙏
Hi Kelly I am new to your page I live in cape Town sa thank u I love doing my garden
Hi Lynn , thank you for checking in all the way from Cape Town South Africa 🌸👍🌎🤗😁
Does it need a lot of Sun?
Mine are in morning sun and afternoon shade . They seem to be doing better then the ones I originally had on the farm in full sun
Hi Kelly..planted a snowball viburnum about a month ago.i am in the northwest of Crete, Greece .would like to know if they do well in heat and how often should i water it..
Its a beautiful plant really want to be able to grow it here..thank u.
Beautiful!
I’m sorry but I have not been able to watch your entire video. I live in Atlanta GA area and would like to plan 3 of these beautiful bushes. Do I need to wait until the last frost is past or can I plant now? Thanks so helping me!
There is another one with the same name that is invasive, but these are not invasive.
You did mention sun exposure? I recently bought one but not sure how much sun it likes.
I’m in Lawrenceville, can we come and purchase some flowers and bushes from your nursery?
Hi Kelly. Can you please tell me about the root of this plant. I’m planting on an drainage easement and need shallow roots. I think this would be great for privacy.
Hi Christy , not sure exactly how deep the roots run . I would test out two plants they do in the area you have in mind . Just make sure the plants won’t sit in water since they don’t like to have soggy feet . If they do well , then I would plant your snowball bush wall 🌸🌸
@@KellyLehman thank you. I’m going to do just that.
Whenever I cut peonies to bring them in for cut flowers, I bring them in and before I put them in vases I cut the stem and plunge the stem in boiling water. This allows the stem to take up water.
I heard they are drought resistant and can be grown in California? What is the best planting season and what soil do they like?
They look beautiful! Mine are three years old this year and I haven’t gotten flowers yet, they are 6 feet tall with lots of berries. I hope they bloom next year, year 4
Zone 8b Grants Pass, Oregon
Sun or shade?
Hi Denny , I have my snowball viburnum in morning sun and afternoon shade . Thanks for checking in from Sneads Ferry NorthCarolina 🌸🤗👍👋🌍😊
I have a Japanese popcorn viburnum and it’s the strangest thing it is fully leafed out on one side but on the left it didn’t leaf out or bloom at all this year. It was planted I think it was 3 years ago? Do you think if it does the same next year I could cut off the section that isn’t leafing out and it will survive?
Hi Sonya, are the branches on the side of the viburnum that are not leading out dead ? You can tell by cutting a section of it and if it’s white inside it means the branch is dead . If this is the case , cut it out . If the viburnum branch has some green inside it means it’s alive and should come back next year .
Any chance some deer ate off the early leaves ?
@@KellyLehman When I checked before the branches were green inside but I will go check again as it’s been a couple months. No deer around here but it is the strangest thing! I will trim it up a bit and cut out any dead but hopefully it is back to normal next season. I have it in the front of my house so if it doesn’t look very nice after being trimmed up and leafed out next spring I plan to relocate it to another part of the property and put something else nice to look at in its spot but I was surprised as I know viburnum are very hardy so for the life of me I cannot figure out what could have happened to it.
Kelly my bush has been in ground this is 3rd season no blooms it really green what am I doing wrong? Live in Va zone 7A 😢please help
Hi Kelly, just found you today. I have two snowball bushes but am losing them to errors made on property surveys and want to get new ones started asap. I live in West Virginia and we are going into fall, what should I do? Thank you!
Literally didn't tell us how to grow, transplant, or take clippings...
That is correct she didn’t tell how to plant the bush! 😮
Can you the viburnum grow under a shady tree?
I don’t think they will bloom very much in shade . If they get some sun they may do ok
i LOVE FLOWERS MUCH Thank you
Zone 8A blooms end of March
Thank you for sharing that 👍👍🌸🤗
How do they differ from hydrangea?
They are a from a different plant family. The stems are super woody like a lilacs .
Any tips on getting lilacs to have a longer vase life than 24 hours ?
Hi Jenny , yes I do . Great lilac question. I may make a video from your comment .
I cut them when they buds on the stem are only half way open and then I split the bottom of the stem with my primer or hit the bottom of it with a hammer to split the wood on the stem so the water flows up the stem easier . 🌸
@@KellyLehman thank you ❤❤
No mention of planting , care , watering , trimming . All comments the creator states she’s inspired to do a video. Zero for this video.
Thanks Kelly for the great information.
You're very welcome , I'm glad it was helpful 👍
Hi Kelly from Texas❣
Hi Theresa 👋 Thank you for checking in from Texas 🌸🤗
I LOVE FLOWERS MUCH AND FRUITS
Can they survive the heat in California?
I never new Vibirnum flowers look like that...it's beautiful
Grew up with snow ball plants
What a great snowball bush memory ❤️🌸
How can you propagate it
Thank you so much for shy
Are the flowers fragrant?
Is it the Chinese variety?
Beautiful! Thank you!
Full sun? Thank you
Just purchased one today as a specimen piece in our landscape
Does this grow in full Sun
Wow, so beautiful!
Love yr video
Thank you for your kind comment Deborah🌸🤗❤️
Thank you❤
Thank you for showing us about viburnum. Got my first two plants this year. I might have missed it, but do you prune at the same time as the hydrangeas? Have a great weekend, from Massachusetts - Lynn
Hy Lynn👋👋 If you prune your snowball bush viburnum ,them do them now as they re just loosing their flowers . They are similar to the hydrangeas that have flowers coming in on old wood . Next years flowers are being put in place soon . 🤗🌸 Iam going to make a video based on your comment . Thank you for the inspiration !
@@KellyLehman Hi Kelly: Glad I could help you help us. Mine are plants that I got in 4 inch pots. I've noticed that they're starting to grow like weeds but no wood yet. I look forward to the video. Hope you're able to stay cool this weekend. Massachusetts is supposed to get up to 90 (or higher). Thank you!
Not much information about actually growing the plant!!
Once you plant this , there is not much to do as far as maintenance . I explained how to cut it back when it starts to take over other plants which is the biggest obstacle .
@@KellyLehman Thanks for your response and I live in Bend, Oregon.
Beautiful ❤
I am in Orlando- Zone 9- what a shame I cannot grow this type of Viburnum. My entire yard is surrounded by Viburnum -some actually smell horrible...LOL- I f I ever move, I want to be in Zone 8!!! Not too cold but so many more choices of vegetation!
Ahhh , sounds like you are in a hot zone . I'll bet you love it in winter though . Have you tried growing oakleaf hydrangea or smooth hydrangea ? They usually do well in zone 9 .
Thank you for checking in from Orlando Florida 🌸🤗👍🌍😊
Flowers going to Catholic communion? Hope you're not delivering them with that shirt on 🤭
