The most exceptional attribute of this deciduous Viburnum is its horizontal growth habit, featuring flowers and fruit in parallel rows along the branches. Distinguished by a smaller stature, and foliage that's not quite as large as Viburnum 'Shasta', 'Summer Snowflake' maintains a more rounded form and blooms well into summer with an extravagant offering of pure white lacecap flowers. It's lovely in containers, grouped in a drift, or as a star specimen. Hardy to zone 5. (S-0075)
