Care Tips:

  • Sunlight: Most Viburnums prefer full sun to partial shade. However, some varieties can tolerate more shade than others. Check the specific requirements of the Viburnum species or cultivar you have.
  • Soil: Well-draining soil is crucial for Viburnums. They can tolerate a range of soil types, but good drainage is essential for their health.
  • Watering: Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods and when the plants are establishing their root systems.
  • Mulching: Applying a layer of organic mulch around the base of the shrub helps retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
