Planting instructions
Choose a planting location with full sun to partial sun and well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and about the same depth as the container. Place the shrub in the hole, backfill with soil, and gently firm to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting. Apply 2–3 inches of mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Watering & sunlight
Water deeply once or twice per week during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, Snowball Viburnum benefits from occasional deep watering during extended dry periods. Watering frequency will vary depending on climate, rainfall, soil conditions, and sunlight exposure.

Snowball Viburnum grows best in full sun to partial sun, with more sunlight encouraging heavier blooming.
Care guide

PRUNING:
Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape and encourage healthy branching. Avoid pruning late in the season, as flower buds for the following year develop on older wood.

FERTILIZING:
Apply a balanced slow-release shrub fertilizer in early spring to support healthy foliage and flowering. Avoid fertilizing for the first 2–3 months after delivery to allow the plant to adjust and establish.

WINTER PROTECTION:
Snowball Viburnum is cold hardy within its recommended zones and generally requires no special winter protection once established. Applying 2–3 inches of mulch around the base can help protect roots and retain moisture.
