Help please! My viburnum doesn’t look well!
Hi, when I bought my viburnum about a month ago it looked healthy with little white flowers. I planted it 2 weeks ago (in new soil that I had composted and added conditioner) and it now has brown leaves and the flowers have gone brown! I don’t know if anyone knows what has happened and if I can do anything to help it? I don’t know whether to cut it back or let it recover? Any help would be appreciated - I’m new to this! Thank you.

As recommended, prune out the dead flower-heads and the top leaves. Most likely the flower-heads were too soft and not grown in natural outdoor conditions. This alone may mean it was un-able to hold its weight with even in a slight windy condition once grown in its final position.
Hopefully, the shrub will rejuvenate after a light prune back. Make sure you water generously to help it settle in. Keep up the watering well into the warmer months.
