Pollination Info for Summer Snowflake Viburnum (Viburnum plicatum tomentosum 'Summer Snowflake')
Summer Snowflake Viburnum is a beautiful flowering shrub that produces clusters of showy white flowers in late spring to early summer. This plant is self-fertile, which means that it can produce fruits and seeds without the need for another plant for pollination.
However, like all flowering plants, Summer Snowflake Viburnum benefits from pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and other insects. These tiny helpers transfer pollen from the male reproductive organs (stamen) of one flower to the female reproductive organs (pistil) of another flower, which results in the formation of fruit and seeds.
If you want to encourage pollinators to visit your Summer Snowflake Viburnum, you can plant other flowering plants nearby or provide nesting sites for bees. Adding a shallow dish of water or a bird bath nearby can also help attract pollinators to your garden.
Overall, Summer Snowflake Viburnum is a low-maintenance plant that can produce fruits and seeds without the need for pollinators, but these tiny helpers can benefit both the plant and other plants in your garden.
