I would love to find some fragrant Viburnum that can grow and flower in zone9. I have Viburnum odoratissimum but to me it looks and smells like Ligustrum japonicum. Are there any others that will do good here? Thanks for any help!

Unfortunately, I have no experience for you for zone 9 or coastal conditions. I think that I've read about Viburnum tinus being the great but underused viburnum for deep southern conditions. Here's what PlantFiles has to offer:

Lloyd Kenyon refers to 22 different selections, and he grows 15 of them. Dirr refers to 15 different types, none hardy in Athens, GA.

People grow them where I am in the deep south but I don't know the names. Sorry Viburnum aren't really my thing but I do know that will grow in zone 9.
