🌞 Where It Grows Best

• Zones: 8–10

• Sunlight: Full sun to part shade—more sun leads to more blooms and stronger growth.

• Soil: Adaptable to a range of soils, but it prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil.

• Size: Grows 8–12 feet tall and wide, making it a perfect choice for larger spaces or as a privacy hedge.

🌱 How to Care for Viburnum odoratissimum:

• Watering: Regular watering during the first year will help it establish. Once established, it’s quite drought-tolerant.

• Pruning: Lightly prune after flowering to keep it neat, or shape it in late winter before new growth begins.

• Fertilizer: Fertilize in spring to encourage healthy growth and flowering.

• Bonus: Deer-resistant and low-maintenance—just the way we like it here at Wright’s.
