viburnum

For viburnum, 'Emerald Triumph' should be watered once a week, and approximately 1-2 inches of water should be applied to the soil. If conditions are hot and dry, shoot for 2 inches of water. When watering, ensure that the soil is evenly moistened, not waterlogged. Avoid wetting the foliage, as it could lead to disease and pest issues. If unsure if the soil has enough water, a simple poke of your finger in the top 2" should confirm whether or not watering is needed.

Viburnum ‘Emerald Triumph’ plants prefer an area with full sun to partial sun. They should receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. This will help promote full, dense flower production. Additionally, this variety needs protection from harsh, direct afternoon sun. During the summer and early fall when temperatures are hot, the plant should be protected from the full force of the sun’s rays. In general, the best time for Viburnum ‘Emerald Triumph’ to receive its sunlight is during the mid-morning when the sun is not too intense.

Viburnum 'Emerald Triumph' should be pruned in late winter or early spring just prior to new growth. The plant should be given a light pruning, removing only those branches that are too weak or too crowded. Avoid heavy pruning as it can reduce flowering the next season. Pruning should be done with sharp pruning shears to ensure clean cuts. Dead wood and older branches should be removed first, followed by thinning out long shoots to maintain the desired shape. Finally, if desired, the tips of the branches can be cut back to maintain desired height and spread.
