Prague Viburnum gets its name from the capital city of the Czech Republic, where it originated in 1955. It is a hybrid plant. One parent was the Service Viburnum from China, with thin, shiny, dark green leaves and slightly fragrant, snowball-like flower clusters. The other parent was the Leatherleaf Viburnum, also from China, which is best known as the parent of another popular hybrid, the Alleghany Viburnum. Alleghany is used for screening, but its large leaves give it a coarse look. Prague in comparison is very sleek and refined. Both show the “hybrid vigor” that often results when two species cross.

Hardiness Zone: 5-8
How To Plant Prague Viburnum in Bulk
Grow Prague Viburnum in full sun to yield the densest foliage and most plentiful flowers, although part shade is acceptable, too. The soil should drain freely. Provide water on a regular basis (weekly is best); once it is established, Prague can miss a watering here and there. Mulch the root zone with bark, wood chips, or pine straw to keep the soil relatively cool and moist. Repeated pruning may be required during the early years to produce a full specimen due to this plant’s rapid growth rate. The more often you cut it, the heavier the branching will get.
How To Fertilize
Incorporate Elements Starter Plant food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant food granular form on an annual basis each late fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established.

Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
