Notes
'Dawn' viburnum (Viburnum bodnantense 'Dawn') 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 and average to moist soil of most types. The rosy-pink flowers are fragrant and open in winter, with more blooms in spring and autumn. Butterflies and birds visit it, and the leaves color up in fall.
Pairs well with Japanese maple, Japanese spirea, and Grape hyacinth.
