Viburnum × carlcephalum
Viburnum × carlcephalum, commonly known as fragrant snowball viburnum or Carlcephalum viburnum, is a deciduous shrub with a broad, rounded habit, prized for its spectacular and intensely fragrant blooms. In spring, it becomes covered with large, spherical inflorescences composed of pure white flowers, emitting a powerful and sweet fragrance, noticeable from a distance, reminiscent of orange blossom and sweet spices. Its dark green, ample, and textured foliage creates a dense mass during the growing season and turns beautiful purplish-red hues in autumn. Ideal as a specimen plant near living areas or as a background plant in a border, it offers a remarkable visual and olfactory impact. Viburnum × carlcephalum thrives in well-drained, rich soil and is distinguished by its abundant flowering and classic elegance in the garden.
