Notes

'Reifler' walter's viburnum (Viburnum obovatum 'Reifler') is a shrub for hedges, privacy screens, and foundation plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows 10 to 12 feet tall and wide with a dense habit. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Early to late spring blooms attract bees, and the shrub also tolerates salt.

Pairs well with Oakleaf hydrangea, Cardinal flower, and Indian grass.
