Notes
'Pink Beauty' Japanese snowball (Viburnum plicatum 'Pink Beauty') is a shrub for borders, specimen planting, and hedges. 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 that can reach about 10 feet tall and wide. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit it, and it tolerates drought once established.
Pairs well with English Roseum rhododendron, Siebold's hosta, and Wood forget-me-not.
