Two years ago I planted a 1-gallon container-grown viburnum in the front yard of our home here in central Texas, zone 8. We also bought our first riding lawn mower that spring and, unfortunately, when I made my fledgling ride, I wiped out half of that poor plant. BUT, this spring it added about 3 feet of new growth and exploded with 17 big white globes of flowers. It literally has stopped traffic on our street with fellow garden-gawkers. I walk and spread an encapsulated slow-release fertilizer over my whole yard once each spring, usually on Valentine's Day--it's easy to remember that date. (P.S. the temp usually qualifies us for spring at that time of the year, even tho the calendar does not agree.) Otherwise, I just pour our leftover tea around its dripline from time to time. It is absolutely gorgeous. Snowballs in TX in April!

This is a hybrid between V. carlesii x V. utile that is deciduous to semievergreen. The foliage is a dark, glossy green and holds well into winter, particularly in the south. The very fragrant white flowers appear in late winter/early spring from dense clusters of 4" pink buds. The berries mature from red to blue-black.
This is a good plnat for the shrub border or fragrance garden. Dirr says it "asks little, gives much".
