Viburnum 'Pragense'

Pink buds of Viburnum 'Pragense' open to creamy-white, delicately fragrant flowers on 7.5 to 15 cm wide cymes, in mid to late spring. Meise Botanic Garden (Acc number 19850236 from Esveld), Belgium. 20 April 2014. Image Guillaume Mamdy.

Leaves shorter than in V. × rhytidophyllum (the seed-parent), elliptic or elliptic lanceolate, 2 to 4 in. long, glossy and slightly wrinkled above, felted beneath. The branchlets are more slender than in that species and the habit laxer. Raised by Josef Vik in the Municipal Nurseries, Prague, and named in 1959. Like the seed-parent it is hardy in Czechoslovakia, while V. utile is tender (Gard. Chron., Vol. 147 (1960), p. 317).
