Prague Viburnum (Viburnum pragense), also known as Prague Hybrid Viburnum, is a semi-evergreen hybrid that combines hardiness, attractive foliage, and seasonal bloom into a versatile and dependable landscape shrub. A cross between Viburnum rhytidophyllum and Viburnum utile, it delivers dense form, glossy leaves, and reliable performance in a wide range of conditions.
Distinctive Features
This vigorous shrub grows 8 to 12 feet tall and wide, forming an upright, rounded habit with dense branching. The dark green, leathery foliage remains evergreen in mild climates and holds its form well through winter. In late spring, pink buds open to creamy white, lightly fragrant flowers. Red berries follow, maturing to glossy black by late summer and attracting birds and other wildlife.
