wayfaringtree viburnum

Wayfaringtree viburnum should be watered deeply and regularly to ensure that the soil remains consistently moist, but not wet. For best results, water this plant species in the morning, aiming to get the soil evenly moist up to a depth of 6-8 inches. This species can be watered as frequently as twice a week, but depending on your area, watering every 4-5 days may be sufficient. During the summer months, when the weather is hot and dry, you may need to water more often. Also, the amount of water required will also depend on the climate (more in hot dry climates and less in cooler climates). Additionally, make sure to monitor the plant's foliage for signs of drying, wilting, or browning to ensure adequate hydration.

Wayfaringtree viburnum (Viburnum lantana 'Mohican') prefers full sun or partial shade, preferably 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. The plant has medium water requirements, but will not tolerate standing water or overly wet conditions. Morning sun is beneficial, as the plant will stay cooler and the leaves will not burn from the afternoon heat. If planted in a heavily shaded area, the benefits of supplemental lighting should be considered.

Wayfaringtree viburnum (Viburnum lantana 'Mohican') is an excellent choice for a hardy, low-maintenance shrub. Pruning this shrub is best done in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. To promote thicker growth and to maintain its tidy form, yearly light pruning is recommended. Start by removing any dead, diseased, or damaged wood. If there are stems crossing over 1 another or growing out of the center of the planting, these can be removed. To encourage fullness, remove any shoots coming from the center of the plant and those that point upward. If you wish to reduce its size, long branch tips should be cut back to a desirable size. Finally, any twiggy growth can be removed as desired.
