Notes
'Mohawk' burkwood viburnum (Viburnum burkwoodii 'Mohawk') 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 white flowers have red on the backs of the petals and smell sweet. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit it, and the leaves turn color in fall.
Pairs well with Japanese spirea, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Blue mistflower.
