Description
Viburnum f. plicatum 'Mary Milton' is a Japanese snowball tree with pink ball-shaped flowers that has the particularity of having a nival zone habit.
In spring, it produces an abundance of pink flower balls with green veins. The flowers are nearly 10cm (4in) in size. Their colour lightens as they bloom. The flowers are honey-rich, attracting butterflies, bees, and birds.
The foliage is deciduous. It is dense, highly veined, and dark green in colour, especially in spring. It provides an interesting contrast with the pink flowers. The leaves turn orange-red in autumn.
This snowball tree is very hardy.
At maturity, it can reach a little over 2m (7ft) in height. It can be grown as a standalone plant, but it has the most impact in a tabular habit. It looks wonderful in flower beds, informal hedges, and containers. It is perfect for small gardens.
'Mary Milton' is an improved version of the 'Kern's Pink' cultivar. It is a beautiful variety, little-known in Europe.

Planting and care
Viburnum f. plicatum 'Mary Milton' can be grown in full sun or partial shade. Plant it from November to May, frost-free. It will grow in any type of soil that is not too dry. It does not like too much limestone, but does prefer slightly acidic, moist, and humus-bearing soil. This bush is easy to grow and requires little maintenance. Viburnum is often attacked by aphids without much danger. After flowering, you can prune the bush to rebalance its shape, if necessary. Prune sparingly to maintain its tabular habit. Remove branches that compromise the symmetry of the plant.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
