Prague Viburnum – 2.5 Quart Pot

---

---

An outstanding cross hybrid between Viburnum rhytidofyllum and Viburnum utile,  the Prague Viburnum is a very desirable evergreen flowering shrub featuring elongated dark green leaves year round that serve as an excellent backdrop for abundant domed clusters of pink buds that open to fragrant white flowers in spring. The flowers are followed by red berries that the birds will enjoy well into winter. It forms a large, multi-stem shrub to about 8 to 12 feet tall and wide making it a fine landscape selection for a specimen, background to lower growing plants or as a natural hedge or screen.

Growing 8 to 12 feet tall and wide at maturity, the Prague Viburnum can be grown as a large shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a very attractive small tree. Either way, it is an eye-catching specimen or natural hedge in landscape and flowering shrub borders. Also useful to frame corners of homes or other buildings or as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. A fine addition white theme gardens, wildlife gardens, and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 8 feet apart for solid hedge; 16 feet or more apart for space between plants. 

Viburnum is very easy to grow in most any moist but well drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. It prefers a loamy soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants it does not like constantly soggy or wet conditions. Quite drought tolerant when established and we’ve seen no serious pest or disease problems. Deer haven’t touched it in our gardens. For best flowering, at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day is suggested. Responds very well to pruning for shaping, size control and tree forming. Prune as needed immediately after flowering.
