Viburnums are hugely popular species of shrubs. They can range in size, be evergreen or deciduous, and come in many colors. However, one thing they do have in common is that they are low-maintenance and rarely need much pruning.
Gardeners adore them as many flower in winter, where little else is often blooming in the garden, and they are highly fragrant. Even if you are short of space, there are smaller varieties available that will grow happily in pots.
As well as knowing how to prune viburnum, it is important to correctly know when to prune viburnum. Getting the pruning shears out at the wrong time can mean you miss out on a year of flowers. Thankfully, pruning is minimal with viburnums but, if you do need to do it, we look at the best times to do both small and large-scale pruning.
