doublefile viburnum

Doublefile Viburnum (Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Shasta') should be watered deeply once every 2-3 weeks, or when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry. Aim to keep the soil evenly moist but not saturated during the warmer months and reduce watering to once a month in the winter. In order to ensure the it's getting enough water, make sure your pot drains easily and does not go soggy. Additionally, mist the foliage once a week to keep it healthy and happy.

Doublefile viburnum (Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Shasta') should receive full sun to partial shade for optimal growth and flowering. Plants grown in full sun should receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight a day during the spring and summer months. In the fall and winter months, plants grown in full sun should receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight each day. Plants that are grown in partial shade should receive 3 to 5 hours of direct sunlight a day during the spring and summer months, and 2 hours of direct sunlight each day during the fall and winter months. For best results, position these plants in an area with morning sun and afternoon shade, or dappled shade throughout the day.

Doublefile viburnum (Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Shasta') should be pruned annually in late winter or early spring, before the new growth begins. Pruning should be minimal and selective. Remove any dead, diseased, or damaged branches, as well as any branches that are growing inwards, crossing over other branches, or rubbing against other branches. This will help keep the shrub healthy and shapely. Thin out some of the older, more woody stems to let in more light and encourage new growth.
