How to care

Full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. Moderately drought tolerant once established. Prune after flowering in late spring, since cutting later removes the buds forming for next winter. Makes an excellent informal or lightly clipped hedge. Watch for viburnum beetle damage on the leaves and for mildew where air movement is poor.
