Prague viburnum
Viburnum 'Pragense'
Prague viburnum (Viburnum 'Pragense') is a deciduous shrub with an upright growth habit. Growing to a height of up to 10 feet, it features showy two to three inch clusters of creamy white flowers in late spring. Dark green oval-shaped leaves line the stems and turn to deep tones of purple in autumn. This species is perfect for a low-maintenance garden and thrives in moist, well-drained soils in full to partial sun. Attractive red berries appear in late summer and persist into winter, making an ideal food source for birds. Its low maintenance nature, beautiful flowers and foliage make it a great choice for any landscape.

watering
Prague viburnum (Viburnum 'Pragense') requires a moderate amount of water and should be watered every 1-2 weeks, especially during hot summer months. If the soil is dry, water deeply and thoroughly until moisture is visible at the surface. Allow the soil to dry out a bit in between waterings. Avoid over-watering, as wet soil can cause root rot and other damage to the plant.
sunlight
Prague viburnum (Viburnum 'Pragense') requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to reach its fullest growth potential. When given the right amount of sunlight, the viburnum grows in a neat, upright shape with glossy foliage that remains attractive all season long. This species is also drought tolerant and can thrive in a variety of climates, from full sun to deep shade. It is best located in a spot where it can receive morning sun and afternoon shade, although it is tolerant of many different exposures.
pruning
Prague viburnum (Viburnum 'Pragense') should be pruned in early spring (prior to new growth) to keep it looking its best. Viburnums respond very well to pruning and, although not technically necessary, removal of 1/3 of the oldest stems to ground level can result in a more compact and floriferous shrub. Any stems that are removed should be cut as close to ground level as possible. To maintain a bushy shape, exterior stems should be trimmed back yearly, removing up to 1/3 of the old growth. Pruning should involve shaping and thinning out the plant, focusing on thinning out the interior of the viburnum rather than just cutting it back. Pruning will help to keep the viburnum looking its best and ensure that it continues to provide the same amount of year-round interest that it is known for.
