laurustinus

Laurustinus (Viburnum tinus 'Lisarose') should be watered with moderate amounts of water regularly. During spring and summer, water deeply once or twice a week, depending on how hot and dry the weather is. Water thoroughly, drenching the root ball and beyond, but do not water so much that the soil is saturated or that standing water has accumulated in the container. During fall and winter, water less often, allowing the soil to dry out somewhat between waterings. It is important to monitor your laurustinus during this time for signs of any water stress.

Laurustinus (Viburnum tinus 'Lisarose') plants require full sun to partial shade for best growth and for flowering to occur. The plant should be exposed to at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and flowering. If the plant receives less than 4 hours of sunlight, it will not develop as much or will have poor flowering. If the plant receives more than 6 hours of direct sunlight, it is likely to suffer from scorching or wilting. Therefore, laurustinus plants should receive 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day, preferably in the morning and afternoon.

The optimal time of year to prune a laurustinus plant such as the Viburnum tinus 'Lisarose' is in the early spring, as soon as the last frost of the season has passed. Depending on where you live, this could mean pruning anywhere from March to May. When pruning, start with cutting away any dead or diseased branches or stems, followed by any that are crossing or competing with 1 another. Finally, prune back the overall size of the plant by trimming away some of the branches. Remember not to cut away more than 1-third of the plant's foliage in 1 season.
