Notes
'Cardinal Candy' linden viburnum (Viburnum dilatatum 'Cardinal Candy') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and most soil types. Its fragrant blooms attract butterflies and birds, and it is drought tolerant. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It grows at a moderate pace into an erect shrub.
Pairs well with Eden rose, Peony, and Autumn fern.
