Notes
'Erie' linden viburnum (Viburnum dilatatum 'Erie') 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, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. White flowers open from spring into early summer, and butterflies and birds visit the shrub. Deer tend to pass it by. You can let it grow 5 to 7 feet tall for a dense screen.
Pairs well with Blueberry, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Peony.
