#ProPlantTips for Care:
These mophead-style Doublefile Viburnum are exceptional team players and need at least four hours of sunlight a day and they perform well in either full sun, or partial shade. Give them well-drained soil, and keep them hydrated with a moderate amount of water on a regular basis. Add a three-inch layer of mulch over their roots, then pull it back away from directly touching the stems. After the incredible flowers are finished, you can prune to shape, if needed. Every 3-5 years do a Renewal pruning. Simply remove several of the oldest, thickest stems down to the ground at that time. Leave the younger, thinner stems in place to keep the plant young and vigorous.
- Grows in Full Sun or Partial Shade
- Adaptable to Most Well-Drained Soil Types
- Provide Mulched Beds & Moderate, Regular Moisture
- Prune After Flowering To Deadhead & Shape Shrub
