Viburnum farreri is the correct nomenclature. This species appreciate cooler soils and summers, performing best in areas like Roy Klehm hails from. Give it a shot - you are allowed to kill it three times before giving up.

I don't know that you've ever divulged the extent of your viburnum collection. I'm assuming it's rather thin. Let's start with what you've got already, so that I can recommend expansion.

Here's one I saw when last up your way - no good New Englander ought be without it.

EDIT ADDITION: This is a picture of Viburnum phlebotricum at the Arnold Arboretum.
