Everyone says there is no stupid question, so here goes. Where are the seeds on the snowball plant? Is it the blooms after they turn brown? They just don't look like seeds to me. Thanks

Which snowball plant are you talking about? Many plants have that common name.

I really don't know. It looks like a pic on google of virburnum snowball. It has a large bloom that starts out green and then it turns white and eventually brown. The bush is deciduous.

Here's what I've found on this plant...seems that the seeds are sterile.

"According to Dirr’s Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, this viburnum is relatively easy to root from June-July cuttings using a rooting hormone. However, it resents being disturbed and should be left in place until the second year. It does not form seeds as the flowers are sterile"

Hope this helps

Melody that helps me very much. I will do the cuttings next June and see how I do with them. Thanks Lily
