Planting & Care

Planting:

Plant Golden Sunset Arrowwood Viburnum in a spot that receives full sun to part shade. This shrub prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Plant it in early spring or fall, and be sure to dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball. Mix the removed soil with compost or soil conditioner, and backfill the hole with the amended soil. Water deeply after planting and mulch around the base of the shrub to conserve moisture.

Care:

Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a healthy root system. Once established, water only during extended periods of drought. Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release, balanced granular fertilizer. Prune in late winter or early spring to promote more blooms and a fuller growth habit. Remove any dead or damaged branches, and shape the shrub as desired.

Golden Sunset Arrowwood Viburnum is generally pest and disease resistant but keep an eye out for aphids or spider mites. Use a spray insecticide if a pest infestation is noted. Powdery mildew can be an issue, particularly in shady or humid areas. Space plants far enough apart to ensure good airflow and prevent the spread of this fungal disease.
