For best results, water Lantanaphyllum viburnum (Viburnum rhytidophylloides 'Alleghany') regularly throughout the growing season. Water deeply, giving the plant a good soak. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between each watering. During periods of high heat and drought, water more frequently. Wait until the top 2 inches of soil are dry before watering again. In winter, when the plant is dormant, you can reduce watering to once or twice per month, depending on the amount of rainfall.

sunlight

Viburnum rhytidophylloides 'Alleghany' (Lantanaphyllum viburnum) requires at least 4 hours of direct sunlight each day in order to thrive.

This species of Viburnum prefers partial sunlight during the morning hours (5am-11am), and then full, bright sunlight during the afternoon (noon-4pm). It's important to make sure that the plant does not receive too much sunlight, as this can cause it to become scorched. Providing the Lantanaphyllum viburnum with the correct amount and amount of sunlight will ensure lush, vibrant foliage for years to come.

pruning

For proper pruning of Lantanaphyllum viburnum, pruning should be done twice a year. The first pruning should be done during spring when the plant is just budding and the second pruning should be done in mid-summer (July or August). During the spring pruning, remove dead and diseased wood as well as any crossing and crowded branches. In addition, thin out excessively thick growth. During the mid-summer pruning, lightly prune the plant to maintain its size and shape, particularly if it has gotten too large for the desired area. Pay close attention to removing any dead or damaged wood. Pruning should be done with sharp, clean pruning shears to ensure a clean cut.
