Notes
'Mary Milton' Japanese snowball (Viburnum plicatum 'Mary Milton') is a shrub for borders, specimen planting, hedges, and privacy screens. 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. It grows fast into a dense shrub, so give it plenty of room. Bees and butterflies visit it, and it is drought tolerant.
Pairs well with Amur maple, Indian grass, and Cora Louise peony.
