This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. It is a good choice for attracting birds to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.

Sparkling Pink Champagne Viburnum is recommended for the following landscape applications;

• Accent
• Mass Planting
• Hedges/Screening
