Zone 7 vs 8 - Knowledgebase Question

Lithonia, GA

Will an odoratissimum viburnum survive in zone 7? I am finding conflicting info; some say it's hardy in zone 7 some say zone 8. I want a fast growing hedge for privacy. Fragrance is a BIG bonus.

0	Viburnum odoratissimum is native to Asia. It is often planted in the southern United States and in other semi-tropical areas. It needs full sun to light shade and tolerates moderate shade, but may become scraggly under low light conditions. It is only hardy in USDA Zones 8-10. It is not recommended for zone 7. Wish I had better news for you!
