Planting Guide For Viburnum Shrubs
Follow these steps to give your Viburnums the best start:
- Choose the right location: Full sun to partial shade with good air circulation.
- Prepare the soil: Loosen soil twice as wide as the root ball, mixing in compost if needed.
- Dig the hole: As deep as the root ball and twice as wide.
- Place the shrub: Position it so the top of the root ball sits level with the ground.
- Backfill and water: Firmly backfill with soil, water deeply, and mulch with 3–4 inches of mulch.
Easy Viburnum Care
Viburnum shrubs are tough and low-maintenance, but giving them the right start helps them thrive for decades. Here’s what they need:
Sun Requirements
For the best flowering and berry production, plant Viburnums in full sun (6+ hours daily). Many cultivars also tolerate partial shade, especially in warmer regions. Too much shade reduces flowers and berries.
Watering Needs
Provide regular water during the first 1–2 years. Once established, most Viburnums are drought-tolerant and need only occasional deep watering. Avoid constantly wet soil. Use the simple Finger Test to know when it’s time to water, and follow these watering tips.
Soil Preferences
These shrubs adapt to many soils, even clay, but thrive in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Mulch annually to conserve moisture and improve soil health.
Care & Pruning
- Fertilizer: Apply balanced fertilizer in spring.
- Pruning: Shape after flowering. Rejuvenate in late winter by removing older stems.
- Pollination Partners: For fruit, plant two compatible Viburnums within 50 feet.
- Mulching: Refresh mulch yearly to protect roots and suppress weeds.
With the right sun, water, soil, and seasonal care, Viburnums will reward you with showy blooms, wildlife-friendly berries, and vibrant fall color for years to come.
