Hello Spring - Guelder Rose

There were squeals of excitement this morning as we unpacked the first of spring seasons viburnum snowball.

Viburnum snowball also known as Guelder Rose, are a woody stemmed shrub variety, weighed down with fluffy pom poms of palest lime, which just ooze spring freshness.

As with many of springs first varieties Guelder Rose can be fleeting, if you notice the heads beginning to droop, you can re-cut the woody stems to encourage them to have a fresh drink of water. 

Viburnum snowballs light green hue makes it an easy flower to pair, Maria recommends matching with lilacs, garden roses, sea holly and ranunculus giving an old English country garden feel.
