Sunlight requirements depend on the region, but the viburnum typically needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to maintain its shape and healthy foliage. This species of viburnum prefers early morning sunlight to encourage flowering and the afternoon shade will help protect the plant from the intense heat of the day. This species is also tolerant of light drought.
pruning
Doublefile viburnum (Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Shoshoni') should be lightly pruned in early spring. Prune away any dead or diseased branches and remove any that cross and rub against each other. Remove any wayward branches that are growing out of shape or are distorting the overall shape of the shrub. Additionally, you can perform light shaping to maintain the desired size and shape of the shrub. When pruning, take care to avoid damaging the layers of branches and free-flowering stems of this viburnum. Overall, keep pruning to a minimum to maintain its beautiful flowers and unique form.
