South East Illinois | Snowball bushes are a type of viburnum, a spring flowering shrub that blooms on old wood. Snowball bushes should be pruned as soon as the flowers fade, this allows the shrub time to develop the buds needed to flower the next year. Only prune your snowball shrub to removed diseased, dead and broken wood. Snowball bushes can be deadheaded to keep the shrub neat, but it's not necessary. If your snowball bush has become too large for the place it is planted in, consider moving the bush to a more appropriate spot rather than giving it a severe pruning.
I just googled it. |
