#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant this Viburnum variety in full sun or partial shade; it needs at least four hours of sunlight a day. Well-drained soil is best...elevate your shrub in a raised bed if you have soggy soil that drains slowly after rain. Use a regular, even schedule of water to keep your shrubs happy, healthy and stress-free. Mulch around your shrubs to a depth of three inches, and pull it back away from touching the stems. Wait until after the flowers are finished before you prune them to the correct shape. This beautiful shrub blooms on old wood, so please don't wait too long or you'll risk cutting off next year's blooms.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Viburnum Bushes Fragrant?
The flowers on Moonlit Lace® Viburnum have a mild pleasant fragrance!
When Do You Prune Flowering Viburnum Shrubs?
Viburnum shrubs bloom on old wood, so it is very important to only prune them immediately after the flowers fade. Should you wish to enjoy the fruit that forms after the flowers fade, then do not prune, instead remove one-third of the oldest, fattest stems that are no longer as vigorous. Pruning them out at the ground level. This leaves fruit for birds and winter interest and increases overall plant vigor while reducing the size of your shrub.
Do Viburnums Like Full Sun or Shade? What is the Best Location for Viburnum?
Viburnums in general need full sun for the most fruit and flowers, but also do well in partial shade and afternoon shade. Highly adaptable, they enjoy mulched, enriched, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. They need regular moisture while young, but once established will only need supplemental moisture during extreme heat and drought.
Does Moonlit Lace® Hardy Viburnum Produce Fruit?
Moonlit Lace® Viburnum doesn't really produce fruit and is grown for its flowers and colorful stems and foliage.
Does Viburnum Spread? How tall does Moonlit Lace® Viburnum get?
Moonlit Lace® Viburnum can form suckers at the base of the plant, but these can be removed when pruning after flowering or mowed down if you do not wish it to spread. Not invasive, these plants will politely form tidy thickets over time when allowed. Moonlit Lace® Viburnum can grow 4-5 feet tall and wide in optimal conditions.
Do Viburnum Shrubs Lose Their Leaves in Winter?
In mild winter climates, Moonlit Lace® Viburnum can remain semi-evergreen to be fully evergreen.
