Planting & Care

Plant your bare root Arrowwood Viburnum as soon as possible after arrival. Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Choose a site with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots without crowding, place the plant at the same depth it grew previously, and backfill with native soil. Water thoroughly to settle the soil and eliminate air pockets. Apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the stem.

Keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season to encourage strong root development. Once established, Arrowwood Viburnum is fairly drought tolerant but benefits from supplemental water during dry spells. Prune as needed in late winter or after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged wood. This shrub can spread by suckers; remove them if you want to control spread.
