Top Tip
Prune viburnum after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Remove dead or damaged branches to promote better air circulation and a healthier plant.
How to Water
Water viburnum deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, they’re drought-tolerant but benefit from occasional watering during dry spells. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-draining, fertile soil. Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball. Place the plant, backfill with soil, and firm gently. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch to retain moisture. Space plants 120-180cm apart.
