Walter's Viburnum 'Snow Fury' (Viburnum obovatum) is a fast-growing shrub that reaches 10-15 feet tall and wide. It blooms in late winter to early spring with white flowers that attract a wide range of pollinators, including scarab beetles, butterflies, flies, and small bees. The fruits, which ripen from late summer to early fall, transition from red to black and are consumed by birds and other wildlife, adding visual interest to your garden.
This versatile plant is ideal as a hedge, or screen or pruned into a tree. It thrives in full sun to part shade, usually moist soil, and can tolerate somewhat long dry periods. It prefers humus or sandy soil with an acidic pH and is resistant to hurricane winds. Additionally, Walter's Viburnum 'Snow Fury' acts as a larval host for the spring azure butterfly and attracts pollinators with strong scents that promise nectar or pollen rewards.
