Why Eastern Snowball Bushes?
Beautiful yet super easy-to-grow, the Eastern Snowball Bush is known for its full white blooms and rich green foliage that usher in spring. The Snowball's flowers emerge a striking lime-green in late spring and gradually turn to snowy-white in mid-May, retaining their green color for several weeks before turning to cream and white.
At full maturity, the Eastern Snowball's blooms are like brilliant white pom-poms, reaching up to 8 inches in width. Plus, you get these huge blooms for weeks at a time. The Eastern Snowball's clusters resemble the blooms of the Hydrangea but are even easier to grow.
In fact, this particular variety will provide a longer and more profuse season of blooming than any other plant in its family. But despite its staying power and unbelievable beauty, it couldn't be easier to grow. It can be trimmed to any size or shape, from shrubs and hedges to borders, or even be trained as a tree.

I just received my Eastern Snowball Bush
I received my order about a week ago. Overall it looked healthy, but there were some leaves with black and brown spots. I removed the leaves with those spots and planted it where I will be able to see if from my kitchen window. It hasn't been planted long enough to know if it will be healthy and produce beautiful flowers. I'll have to provide an update next year. I look forward to the beautiful white snowballs.

A happy mom on Mother's Day
Mom was thrilled to get this as her Mother's Day gift -- it reminds her of the one in her grandmother's back yard and we look forward to seeing it get as big!
