I've finally identified the plant I was asking about (found the tag) ..... it's a david viburnum.

The ones at the nursery were neat little mounds ..... ours have gotten straggly. I'm trying to figure out how to shape them like I want them to look ... searching the internet now.

I don't believe Viburnum is hardy in this corner of the woods. Northern Zone 5 (not the NEW designation, but the one we all know and trust). I'm only about 50 miles from the Zone 4 line. And being out in the wide open spaces where everything is flat, and there isn't much in the way of protection from the harsh winter winds, many zone 5 things do not do well here.
