viburnum

This handsome devil viburnum should be watered deeply every 7 to 10 days. Water the plant until the soil is moist but not soggy. This type of viburnum prefers soils that are on the drier side, so if the soil feels moist, reduce the amount of water or the frequency of watering. In the warm months of summer, the soil will dry more quickly, so you may need to increase the watering frequency slightly; however, take care not to over water the viburnum. During periods of extended drought, give the plant an additional drink to ensure it is kept well-hydrated.

Viburnum 'Le Bois Marquis' HANDSOME DEVIL is a large, upright shrub that thrives in full or partial sun. It can tolerate partial shade, but it flourishes best in areas with 6 to 8 hours of daily sun exposure. Plant it in an area that receives morning sun and some afternoon shade for optimal results. During the summer, Viburnum plants can also tolerate 6 or more hours of direct sun. This will help to maximize blooming and promote a full, bushy growth habit.

Viburnum 'Le Bois Marquis' HANDSOME DEVIL is a semi-evergreen shrub that typically thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove damaged, diseased, and dead branches to maintain the overall health of the shrub. Remove any branches that are crossing or over-crowding the interior of the plant and any branches that are growing in an undesirable direction. The remaining branches should be thinned out to promote even growth and to maintain an attractive shape. Avoid shearing off large, healthy branches as this can cause stress and damage to the plant. Prevent over-pruning by removing only 1-third of the total growth each year. When pruning to train the shrub, prune back to a node leaving a few leaves and buds. This encourages the growth of dense foliage which will help to protect the plant from excessive sun exposure and wind. Pruning can also be done to control the size or shape of the shrub. If needed, prune back to promote a full, rounded shape. Overall, the goal should be to enhance the natural shape of the viburnum and to keep it healthy by removing unwanted or damaged branches. Pruning should be done carefully and conservatively, taking care to not damage the natural shape and form of the shrub.
