Positive ViburnumValley On Feb 5, 2006, ViburnumValley from Scott County, KY (Zone 5b) wrote:

Large-flowered silverbell is one of the unsung heroes of the spring landscape. It is little known and grown simply because it flowers at the same time as flowering dogwood and many other commonly planted spring bloomers. Be different, and give this small tree a try!

A vigorous grower, easily stretching 18-24" of new growth in ordinary soils and normal rainfall, this plant drenches itself in bloom annually. The flattened two-winged seeds form later in the summer and are a positive ID feature. Yellows are the common fall color.
