Snowball Viburnum is one tough plant. In the 30 years I've been growing it, I've seen no serious insect or disease problems. Constantly wet soil could cause problems with the roots. Too much shade can effect flowering.

Snowball Viburnum is exceptionally easy to grow. It's not picky about soil type and is quite drought tolerant when established. Click on the link below for detailed planting instructions.

Gardenality.com · Gardenality Genius · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Pruning
Snowball Viburnum does not require pruning however can be pruned immediately after spring flowering. When pruning, I usually only remove a stray branch here or there as this plant fills out quite nicely on it's own.

I feed Snowball Viburnum with a well-balanced shrub and tree type fertilizer or organic plant food after flowering in spring.
