Description
The Japanese Snowball is a beautiful, showy shrub that produces large, white flower clusters in the spring attracting butterflies. These flowers are then replaced by small red berries that will attract birds. It works well as a specimen plant with its natural round shape and thick green foliage or it can be incorporated into a group or hedge with other Japanese snowballs.
