In the Sun Valley Flower World, it ain't spring until we have Viburnum. And ladies and gentlemen, do we have Viburnum!
Viburnum is extra special because its growing season is one of the shortest–we start picking at the end of March (when their many-flowered heads are nice and full) and we are usually done by the end of April You may hear Viburnum blooms also referred to as Snowballs–this is because their mass of tiny blossoms give each bloom-head a spherical, puffy shape.
Viburnum is also known for its color change during the season (which we'll talk about below). They first bloom in a vivid lime green color and then turn to ivory-white puffballs as they mature in the sunshine.
