Viburnum bodnantense
Viburnum (Viburnum bodnantense) is an evergreen flowering plant that is recognisable by its round clusters of bright pink or deep red blooms. Native to China, this hardy shrub can grow up to three metres tall and thrive in partial shade. In late autumn, clusters of bright red berries appear, adding an extra splash of colour to the winter garden. Throughout the year it provides a beautiful array of clusters of small white flowers which attract bees and butterflies. Its glossy dark green leaves are a great backdrop to the delicate blooms, providing a stunning addition to your garden.

watering
Viburnum bodnantense can be watered once every 1-2 weeks, depending on the maturity of the plant, the season, and the weather. Apply enough water so that the soil is moistened 8-10 inches deep. During hot, dry weather, planting should be watered more frequently as needed. The soil surrounding the plant should be kept slightly moist but not soggy. Mulch will help to prevent moisture loss through evaporation. If the rootball is dry, water longer or more often to ensure effective watering.
sunlight
The species of viburnum, Viburnum bodnantense, typically requires 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day, ideally spread evenly throughout the day. This plant does best in areas with abundant sunlight, especially during the winter months when the amount of daylight is reduced. In addition to the light it receives from the sun, it also needs periodic supplemental light to keep it healthy.
pruning
Viburnum (Viburnum bodnantense) should be pruned each year during the dormant season, which typically takes place late winter or early spring (February to March). Pruning should aim to thin out the plant and reduce the total size of the viburnum while encouraging new growth. Start by removing any dead, diseased, or damaged branches and heading back any overly long stems. Cut back to an outward facing bud or the main stem trunk, cutting just above the bud. Each stem should be cut back by 1-third of its total length. Afterward, take 1 or 2 of the oldest stems down to the ground level to keep the viburnum healthy and promote new growth.
