Eastern Snowball Viburnum does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments.

Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.
