Viburnum Opulus
Name: Viburnum opulus is commonly known as guelder rose or snowball (tree).
Description: Shrub, with heads of globular lace-cap type flowers, from pale green to creamy white. The guelder rose's leaves colour richly in late summer/autumn, followed by bunches of berries, glistening red and translucent.
Origin: Native to Europe, it came about in the Netherlands spontaneously in 1591.
Colour: Flower heads from a pale green to white.
Availability: Flowering branched in the spring and summer and berried branches in the autumn. Usually available from December through to March.
Family: Honeysuckle (Caprifolicaeae) There are two forms of the shrub, fertile and infertile, the sterile being a white headed blossom more often known as snowball, or snowball tree. The fertile form is more common known as guelder rose.
Trivia: The Victorians thought Viburnum opulus signified winter, or age.
Care Tips: Viburnum will wilt very quickly if left out of water. When cutting the stem, make a clean diagonal cut using a sharp knife. Remove leaves and place in deep water to condition before arranging. |
