Viburnum lentago Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: An easily grown plant, it succeeds in most soils but is ill-adapted for poor soils and for dry situations[1]. It prefers a deep rich loamy soil in sun or semi-shade[11, 200]. Best if given shade from the early morning sun in spring[200]. A very hardy plant, tolerating temperatures down to about -30°c[184]. A fast-growing but short-lived species in the wild[229]. It readily sprouts from the roots and forms thickets, a habit that is undesirable in small gardens[226]. The plants grow well, but do not usually fruit well in Britain[11, 200]. This is probably because they are self-incompatible and need to grow close to a genetically distinct plant in the same species in order to produce fruit and fertile seed[11, 200].
