Copper Top (Sweet Viburnum) looks dead

claire.brannan79 · February 2021

After the recent cold snap & snow my Copper Top shrub has completely wilted & I don’t know what to do? The other plants in the garden have survived but this one has just died in the last week. Any suggestions how to revive?

It might come back if you remove all the dead leaves and plant it out in the garden. If you want it to stay in a pot, you'll need to re=pot it into a larger one and use a John Innes #3 compost as multi-purpose compost is no good for these.

Thank you - that’s really useful - I was thinking of a bigger pot.
Fingers crossed it survives- they’re lovely shrubs.
