Hi fellow Viburnum lovers,

This is probably not the best photo for showing this but in front and slightly to the right of the Metasequoia, between the blue Aquilegia and purple leafed Ligularia is a Blue Muffin Viburnum. As I stated in other threads, this is one viburnum I am disappointed with. I plan to remove this one and I would like any suggestions on what to replace it with. I want something that gets no bigger than five or six feet. A darker, possibly glossy green foliage would probably stand out niceley against the gold backdrop of the Ogon Dawn Redwood. I always like good flowering, fruiting and fall foliage (four F's). F number five, fragrance, is always welcome but since it will be sited in the middle of this bed, unless it can be appreciated from at least five or so feet away, it won't be important. This is an early Spring photo and there are a few neighbors you can't see in this photo. On either side of the viburnum, a bit downhill, are two hydrangea, both relatively small (4 feet) mophead types. Suggestions?? Thanks and Happy Holidays to all!

Regards,
Victor
