Notes
'Cayuga' fragrant snowball (Viburnum carlcephalum 'Cayuga') is a shrub for hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. White flowers open in mid to late spring and smell sweet. It grows 4 to 8 feet tall and 6 to 11 feet wide, so give it room.
Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Hummingbird's mint, and St. John's wort.
