Viburnum plicatum 'Newport'

Newport Japanese Snowball Viburnum

Newport Japanese Snowball Viburnum (Viburnum plicatum ‘Newzam’) brings the rounded form of snowball viburnum into a compact shrub. White flower clusters add a bright display against the foliage.

The plant grows wider than it is tall and develops reddish leaves in fall. Its smaller scale works well in a mixed border where a full-sized snowball viburnum would take up too much space.

Choose sun or partial shade and leave room for the broad, rounded habit.
