Adaptable and dependable four-season garden interest. Most viburnum offer large flowers that attract butterflies, thick summer foliage, and berries and vibrant fall foliage that attract birds. Nice with fir, rhododendron, crocosmia and variegated periwinkle. Prefers well-drained soil.

An outstanding landscape accent with unusual twisted branches that resemble corkscrews. In winter, pendulous catkins resemble tiny ornaments. Underplant with pachysandra or English ivy. Prefers well-drained, slightly alkaline (sweet) soil.
