viburnum 'Mariesii'

I like white flowers.

I've just bought one of these.

When is it in flower?
Is it evergreen?
Blooms look like a hydrangea.

It is deciduous and flowers in May. Its common name is Japanese snowball bush

I have a viburnum snowball tree, but the blooms don't look like your flowers above.

I uploaded a pic of my new one on 21st Sept. The label said Vibernum plicatum. I thought it was different to the Snowball tree, their flower heads are more ball shaped.

Chrispook, My one is the Viburnum plicatum 'Mariesii' - Japanese Snowball Bush
yours is a Viburnum plicatum 'Watanabe' - otherwise known as 'Summer Snowflake'
the variation which you may have seen with big white pompoms of flowers is commonly known as a Chinese snowball bush

Boy, you sure know your plants or did you just look that up online? lol Well, anyway, I love your picture...it brings to mind a bunch of white butterflies visiting their favorite flowers.....

hehe.. After loads of early mistakes I bought a lot of books.
I research most plants that I intend to buy to make sure I have the right soil and a suitable position in my garden..
It seems to have paid off so far with only a coule of failures.
I must admit though I do impulse buy on occasions

Wow, FdM, that's gorgeous, nearly identical to a Hydrangea though even the leaves! Wonderful!!

Thanks FDM! I still want one!!
