For new plantings
1. Dig a hole one and a half times wider than the plant's container
2. Place plant in hole, keeping the top of the root ball ground level
3. Back fill with dirt
4. Water thoroughly and then mulch around the base to conserve moisture and reduce weeds
New plantings require more frequent watering than established plants. Wind, temperature and soil are factors to consider in watering.
Feed plants in early spring and again in early fall with an all-purpose fertilizer, following label instructions.
Care Instructions
Viburnum plants thrive in well-draining soil with moderate moisture. Ensure they receive adequate sun exposure and apply a balanced fertilizer in the spring. Prune them back to promote better branching and maintain their shape. Remove any dead or diseased branches regularly, as well as any suckers or water sprouts. Viburnums can be susceptible to pests such as scale and aphids, so keep an eye out and treat as necessary. Mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
