How to Care for the Plant

Water
As for water requirements, they will need to be watered regularly while they’re getting established. It’s a good idea to use mulch to help the soil retain moisture.
Pruning
Viburnum shrubs don’t need too much pruning, outside of removing dead leaves or damaged branches. If you notice that branches are becoming a little too dense, then it’s not a bad idea to prune them to improve air circulation. Good air circulation will mean your plants grow better and lessen the risk of disease.
Sunlight
Viburnum plants need a good amount of exposure to the sun in order to flower at their best. There are certain varieties that can cope in partial shade, but it’s usually better to pick a sunny spot.
