Notes
'Aurora' Korean spice viburnum (Viburnum carlesii 'Aurora') is a shrub for borders, specimen planting, hedges, and foundation plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The white flowers are fragrant and attract birds. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows slowly into a rounded shape, so give it space to fill out.
Pairs well with Mock orange, Golden Tiara hosta, Bartzella peony, and Blue fescue.
