Viburnum davidii, commonly known as David viburnum, is a versatile plant that can tolerate a range of soil types. While it prefers well-drained soil, it can also grow in sandy or clay soils as long as the drainage is adequate. This means that even if you have less than ideal soil conditions in your garden, you can still successfully grow Viburnum davidii.
One of the notable characteristics of Viburnum davidii is its drought tolerance. Once established, this plant can withstand periods of dry weather without much water. However, it’s worth noting that while it can survive without much water, its flowering will be more profuse if it receives occasional watering during prolonged dry spells.
In my personal experience, I have found Viburnum davidii to be a resilient plant when it comes to drought. I have a few of these plants in my garden, and during a particularly dry summer, I neglected to water them regularly. Despite the lack of water, they managed to survive and even produced some flowers, although not as many as in previous years when they received occasional watering.
To maintain an attractive Viburnum davidii plant, little pruning is needed. This plant has a naturally pleasing shape and doesn’t require much intervention to keep it looking good. However, if you do decide to prune it, it’s important to do so at the right time. Pruning should be done immediately after flowering to ensure that you don’t accidentally remove any future flower buds.
