Tips for Care:

Although adaptable, this Viburnum variety performs best in well-drained soils. Plant where they’ll receive at least four hours of direct sunlight a day. Protect your investment with life-long support from Nature Hills Root Booster. This symbiotic formula works with the smallest feeder roots to help your plant uptake micronutrients. Pay close attention to watering while your new shrub is getting established during the first season. After that, provide a regular schedule of supplemental water as needed during dry weather.

Prune to correct crossing branches right after flowering is finished. Fertilize with a balanced formula, following label directions.
