My Viburnum is in 1/2 day sun and is suprisingly doing great
I mulched it like crazy and even with 97-100 degree days it is fine so far -good luck!

I have the Virburnum Spring Bouquet about 8 years old planted in afternoon sun (about noon to 4) on a west wall where the sprinkler system almost gets to. I only hand water occassionally if it's been really dry, and it has done fine once it established. When it was young the leaf tips would get a little brown and crispy in August, but the past few years it has not had any water stress problems. My only criticism of it is that it usually starts to bud early enough that it frequently gets zapped by a freeze, so the bloom is not as profuse as I'd like.

Rusty Blackhaw Viburnum is a Texas native and thrives in full sun. It's a beauty.

I've been eyeing the Viburnum's on eBay (waiting for fall to buy).
They have some really neat looking ones: Blue muffin, Cardinal Candy, Brandywine...was hoping someone would have some luck with some of these!

my shasta viburnum is in mostly full sun and it's leaves do get crispy in the summer, but I think it's also because it doesn't get enough water where it's at.

Here are some pictures of the Snowball Viburnum - you can see why they call it that!

When it first opens, it is a little green:

I planted a Mohawk variety here in a shady spot here in the DFW area. It looks good so far, but the jury is still out since I did it in the spring and this was a freakishly cool and wet summer. Stay tuned!

My rusty haw was a gift from God on the property, I didn;t even see it for a year, but it is a great understory tree, small and completely beautiful. My Mom has many on her acearage lining a creek, but we are high and dry on a hillside.

I also have a rusty blackhaw that I planted last fall. I am confident that it will do great, since there are several growing wild in the woods behind my property.

The spring bouquet I also planted in the fall seems to be doing well, but it hasn't been through a hot, dry summer yet.

A have a male and female non-cloned commerical pair of Rusty Blackhaw Vib. They are small now but it's so easy to see how gorgeous they will be. They handle the heat and have nice leaves. Here's a pic of a mature on in someone's garden.

I came across this 17 year old post so hi everyone. I was thinking of getting a snowball viburnum and I live in Houston and wonder if any of you are in this area - zone 9 and how they do here.
