Tips to Growing a Healthy Arrowwood Viburnum

1. TIPS TO GROW AND CARE FOR Arrowwood Viburnum #1 LIGHT EXPOSURE This shrub grows well in full sunlight to partial shade, meaning it needs at least roughly four hours of direct sunlight on most days. In hot climates, shade from the strong afternoon sun is ideal. But too little sun can impede flowering. #2 SOIL TYPE Arrowwood viburnum prefers loamy, well-drained soil. But it can tolerate a range of soil types, including clay soil. It likes an acidic soil pH. #3 WATER REQUIREMENTS The shrub needs at least a moderate amount of soil moisture, though mature plants have some drought tolerance. They also can handle occasional flooding. Keep young shrubs well watered, and continue to give established plants water whenever the soil begins to dry out. #4 TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY The shrubs prefer temperate conditions, though they have fairly good heat and cold tolerance within their growing zones. Make sure to water them well in very hot weather to minimize plant stress, and give them protection if your temperatures will be unseasonably cold to prevent foliage damage. Humidity typically isn’t an issue for the shrubs. instanthedge.com
