What plant is this?
Hi
I have a plant growing in the backyard which is about 1.5 metres tall and it has plenty of small creamy color flowers which come out like a ball... I have photos of it (my explaination is not very good) and I'm trying to identify it as I am moving soon and I know it won't survive a transplant... Previously smaller plants have sprouted from the main root and I have tried to repot them with no luck - I have also had no luck with taking cuttings and using root powder... Is there anyone on here who could help me name this plant or know where I might find out??? thanks Audrey |

Hi Audrey,
Don't know for sure if I can help but it sounds like a Virburnum opulus (snowball bush). The following is a description taken from a gardening book I have :- Max height vicinity 2m- This reasonably hardy deciduous species flowers to best advantage in the colder & cooler areas. The cultivar"Sterile" -the snowball bush-bears profuse huge balls of white bloom in summer & these are followed by good autumn foliage. Propagate from hardwood cuttings in spring. Regards, Coral E.
