watering

For Viburnum cassinoides 'SMNVCDD' LIL DITTY plants, watering should generally be done about once a week. Make sure that the soil is moist but not soggy; and if the soil starts to dry out, you should water more frequently. If the temperature in the area where the Viburnum cassinoides 'SMNVCDD' LIL DITTY is planted is very hot and dry, consider increasing the watering amount. Additionally, when planting, make sure that the soil is moist before setting the plant in it.

sunlight

Witherod viburnum, more scientifically known as Viburnum cassinoides 'SMNVCDD' LIL DITTY, requires full sunlight or partial shade in order to thrive. At least 4 hours of direct sunlight is needed per day for optimal growth and flower production. If this plant is placed in full shade, it may experience slower growth, fewer flowers and even eventual death. The plant will play best when it’s exposed to direct sunlight for around 6-8 hours each day. However, if direct sunlight isn't available, partial shade can provide the light necessary for viburnum’s admirable growth.

pruning

When it comes to pruning a Witherod Viburnum (Viburnum cassinoides 'SMNVCDD' LIL DITTY) it is best to wait until late winter or early spring. Pruning should be kept to a minimum but it is important to prune any dead branches or weak growth. When pruning, aim to maintain the shrub’s natural shape and never prune more than 1/3 of the entire bush. Additionally, remove any suckers or competing shoots that grow, as these can take away resources from the other branches. When shaping Viburnums, do so with a sharp pair of pruning shears and be careful not to leave any large cuts or stubs.
