About This Plant
Viburnum plicatum 'Molly Shroeder' (Eastern Snowball), 'Molly Shroeder', is valued in PNW gardens for its character and seasonal interest.
Viburnums are versatile shrubs with white spring flower clusters, summer berries adored by birds, and brilliant fall color in deciduous species. Range from compact evergreens (V. davidii) to large screening shrubs (V. tinus, V. plicatum).
Full sun to part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 3 to 9. Watch for viburnum leaf beetle (a serious pest in some regions), powdery mildew, and bacterial leaf spot. Most species cross-pollinate, so plant in groups for best berry display.
For a Pacific Northwest native plant of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Holodiscus discolor (Oceanspray), or Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon Grape) , all support native pollinators and birds.
