Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: This shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade, ideally receiving at least six hours of direct light for the best flower display. While it handles afternoon shade well, too much shade will result in a leggy shape and fewer of those ivory flower clusters.
  • Soil: Aim for moist, well drained soil that is rich in organic matter. If you have heavy clay, mix in some compost to improve drainage, because this viburnum will suffer if its roots sit in stagnant water for too long.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist during the first two growing seasons to help the root system expand into the surrounding soil. Once established, this hybrid is quite tough and can handle dry spells, though a lack of water during summer heat can lead to early leaf drop. Think of deep watering like a long drink that keeps the evergreen foliage looking lush and dark green.

Pruning Tips

Prague Viburnum sets its flower buds on old wood, so you should only prune it immediately after the spring flowers have faded. Use hand pruners to thin out the oldest stems or to shape the plant, which encourages fresh growth for next year's blooms. Avoid late summer pruning because you will accidentally cut off the buds for next year's floral display.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring just as the new leaves begin to emerge. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers after midsummer, as this promotes tender new growth that won't have time to harden off before the first frost. This timing ensures the plant has the energy it needs for both spring flowers and winter hardiness.

Displaying creamy white snowballs of tiny blooms and dramatic deep-dark green, textured foliage, the Prague Viburnum (Viburnum x 'Pragense') is a high-impact shrub that can remain evergreen in mild winters! Maintaining that intense glossy foliage, with silvery undersides, gives your garden year-round privacy and presence, plus so much more!

The dramatic backdrop of foliage welcomes spring with clusters of pinkish buds that burst into rounded bouquets of dainty white flowers. Of course, the creamy-white blooms of flowering Viburnum shrubs bring the butterflies! You'll be amazed how popular your shrubs are with bees too! Upright and rounded growth, these are gorgeous even in cold growing zones when they drop their leaves.

These delightfully fragrant, snowballs soon give way to bright red ornamental berries that birds go crazy for! Prague Viburnum’s foliage is readily pruned and sheared into hedges, windbreaks, hedgerows and fantastic privacy that shelters not just you, but your wildlife too!

Planting and Application:

Prague Viburnum are bird-friendly shrubs, while the colorful berries provide winter interest, they also lure wildlife with easy nutrition. Birds adore them for shelter and nesting too, but they are not a deer’s favorite food source. Rows and groupings of these low-maintenance plants backdrop your property in dramatic green and highlight all other plants you place before them.

Viburnum's stylish form and attractive foliage make them a top choice to use for hedging and specimens. Year-round privacy and screening from broadleaf evergreens mean having a backyard that feels peaceful and serene! Screen off your front yard with a row of blooming shrubs like no other.

  • Pinkish Buds & Fragrant White Flower Clusters
  • Red Berries for Winter Interest & Birds
  • Pollinator & Wildlife Friendly
  • Dramatic Two-Tone Broadleaf Evergreen/Semi-Evergreen
  • Beneficial Bird & Pollinator Shrubs

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Prague Viburnum quickly reaches upwards of 10 tall and wide when left to its own devices. Adaptable to pruning and shearing, you can train them to any size more suitable for your needs. Plant in any sunny site that is slightly acidic and consistently moist, well-drained soil. Add Nature Hills Root Booster while planting for a life-long symbiotic relationship with the tiny feeder roots.

  • Full Sun & Partial Shade
  • Prune After Flowering
  • Acidic, Moist Well-Drained Soil
  • Deer-Resistant

Blooms, winter interest and year-round dramatic presence, the Prague Viburnum should be your new go-to favorite ornamental landscaping shrub! Order yours today at NatureHills.com!
