Prague Viburnum is a rounded multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with elliptic dark green leaves that turn burgundy in fall. Flat clusters of lightly fragrant creamy white flowers bloom in spring and give way to bright red berries that mature to black in fall. Flowers best with full sun and moist, lightly acidic well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established.
