watering
Witherod Viburnum generally requires regular watering, from 1-2 times per week. It is best to allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. During hot and dry periods, water more frequently. Water deeply, providing enough water so that it penetrates down to the roots. Overly wet and compacted soils should be avoided.
sunlight
The amount and timing of sunlight for witherod viburnum (Viburnum cassinoides) depends on the variety. For deciduous varieties, spring and summer sunshine helps provide the best blooms. They should receive around 6-8 hours of direct sunlight a day. For evergreen varieties, witherod viburnum prefers partial shade. This would mean around 2-4 hours of direct sunlight a day, and a good balance between sunshine and protection from harsh midday and afternoon sun. Witherod viburnum prefers moist, well-drained soil and will tolerate some periods of drought. It also prefers soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH.
pruning
When pruning a Witherod Viburnum, it's best to prune them in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. A general rule is to prune them lightly, removing no more than 1-third of the total number of branches. This will help to encourage larger flower production as well as make the shrub more manageable and aesthetically pleasing. It's also important to remove any dead branches, so that the shrub has a healthy shape.
