Viburnum ×carlcephalum (fragrant snowball) is a garden hybrid of V. carlesii and V. macrocephalum, forming a large deciduous shrub up to about 3 m tall and wide. Give it a sunny to lightly shaded spot with moist, well-drained soil to get the best flowering.
Viburnum × carlcephalum, common name fragrant snowball, is a hybrid flowering plant in the family Adoxaceae (formerly Caprifoliaceae), of garden origin. It is a cross between V. carlesii and V. macrocephalum.
Growing to 3 m (10 ft) tall and broad, it is a substantial deciduous shrub with heart-shaped leaves often turning red in autumn. Rounded flower-heads composed of many fragrant, tubular white flowers are borne in early summer. Flowering is later than many other deciduous viburnums. The flowers are followed in autumn by insignificant red-black fruits.
