Rocketliners® are sized, shaped and rooted throughout the pot with strong and responsive roots. Gardeners can expect a finished healthy plant within a single growing season. They have greater fresh root mass and vertical root training which promotes faster finishing times. While it can often take up to 3 years for a shrub or vine to get fully established growing from bareroot, Rocketliners® may only take 12 months, saving you up to 2 seasons of waiting time. Rocketliners® are for gardeners that have busy lives, little time to waste and want to start out with the best planting stock.

About this Variety

Viburnum opulus 'Sterile' is a deciduous shrub that is vase-shaped, gracing southern gardens for generations. Snowball produces lots of color in summer making it a perfect choice for mass plantings. Very versatile. Big white snowball type flowers adorn the plant in late spring and are excellent for cut flowers. Bright green foliage turns to reddish purple in the fall.
