How to Care for the Plant
Water
During hot weather, the shrubs should be watered every 7 to 10 days. Little pruning is necessary, though some species can be trained to form tree-like plants by removing competing stems.
Pruning
Leggy shoots can be trimmed back in early summer to maintain the shrub's form. Broken, dead, or diseased branches should be removed as soon as you notice them.
Fertilizer
Most viburnums need little more than one application each year of a balanced, time-release fertilizer mixed into the soil in spring. Once well-established, most shrubs do well without any feeding.
