Plant Care

Water

Water regularly, allow soil to dry down between waterings

While Freeze Frame Viburnum pragense is a hardy plant that can grow well without a lot of fertilizer, it can benefit from a once-yearly application in early spring, with a balanced fertilizer, to boost its flowering and foliage color. Once established, these shrubs are low-maintenance and often do fine without supplemental feeding.

Pruning

Pruning isn't necessary, but plants can be trimmed to prevent them from becoming overgrown or unruly
