Product description
Viburnum Mariesii is a deciduous shrub with neatly veined, dark green leaves that surrounds the beautiful white budding and flowering in Spring. In terms of the foliage, it will consist of a green shade in both Spring and Summer, before taking on a purple hue in Autumn. Also in that latter season of the year, black fruit will be produced, adding another visual aspect to the plant which ensures it is an eye-catching addition to the garden. When caring for Viburnum plants, you should plant them in moist, well-drained soil and keep them positioned in full sunlight. Overwatering must be avoided, with a high requirement being placed on regular watering when the shrub is first planted or in longer periods of drought.

Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
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.
