Care Instructions
To care for a viburnum plant, make sure it is planted in well-draining soil in a location that receives full to partial sun. Water it regularly, especially during dry spells, and fertilize it with a balanced fertilizer in the spring. Prune it after it blooms to maintain its shape and remove any dead or diseased growth. Monitor the plant for common pests and diseases, such as aphids or powdery mildew, and treat as necessary. With proper care, your viburnum plant can thrive and provide beautiful blooms and foliage.
