Prague Viburnum
General Information
The Prague Viburnum is a great shrub that could have different uses in your landscape. It grows to a moderately large size, up to 12 feet tall and wide. The shrub is multi-stemmed, growing in an overall rounded fashion. It can be planted in a larger landscape area or shrub border of some sort. It works well as a screen hedge, due to its quick and dense growing habit. The foliage on this shrub is great, remaining evergreen in all but the coldest and harshest winters. The leaves are oval to elliptical in shape. They are very glossy in appearance, with a dark green color on the top of the leaf and white tinted on the underside. Large, up to 6 inch wide, clusters of flowers appear in the spring. They are small individually, with a slight fragrance and nice white color. After the flowers, berries will form, turning red before eventually maturing to a glossy black. Birds are attracted to these berries, but the fruit otherwise can persist into the winter.
Additional Information

Prague grows best in well drained soils with moderate amounts of moisture. If possible, this shrub should be placed in a location protecting it from the harshest of the winter winds.

I live in NC and purchased Nov 2020 two Prague Viburnums for a privacy hedge in our front yard. The plants arrived nicely packaged and looked healthy. It’s been almost a year and they’re thriving and growing faster. I’m impressed! Thanks Grimms Garden!
