Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Alleghany viburnum is an easy-to-grow large shrub. Its claim to fame is the fact that its leaves stay on the plant for a long time, making it only briefly deciduous over the winter. The leaves are deep green, leathery and wrinkled.
In spring, the spectacular clusters of creamy white flowers give way to red berries. The berries darken to a glossy black and persist through summer and fall.
Alleghany viburnum is a good substitute for rhododendrons and other broadleaf evergreens.
While not grown at the Xeriscape Garden, Alleghaney viburnum grows very well throughout the Colorado Springs area.
Prune to shape when young. Remove dead and damaged branches as necessary.
