Description
A graceful, tiered flowering shrub with charming pink-blushed blooms.
Viburnum plicatum ‘Molly Schroeder’ is a compact, elegant deciduous shrub known for its distinctive layered, horizontal branching and soft, snowball-style flowers. Blooming in spring, the clusters open white before taking on a delicate pink blush, giving an enchanting two-tone effect.
Foliage turns a soft green through the growing season and often colours lightly in autumn. Its neat, rounded habit makes it ideal for small gardens, mixed borders, cottage gardens, or as a standout feature shrub.
