Birds & Blooms

My mother gave us this mystery bush. What is it?

- Tristan Perry RADFORD, VIRGINIA

Melinda: Your mother gifted you

a Prague viburnum (Viburnum x pragense). This evergreen viburnum is hardy in Zones 5 to 8 and prefers full

sun to part shade. As a fast grower, it makes a perfect screen, hedge or accent plant, reaching 10 to 12 feet tall and wide. The lightly fragrant flowers attract butterflie­s, and birds can be seen dining on the fruit that starts out red and eventually turns black.
