Viburnum utile, the service viburnum, is a species of flowering plant in the family Viburnaceae, native to central and southern China.[1] A leggy evergreen shrub reaching 4 to 8 ft (1.2 to 2.4 m), it is rarely found in commerce.[2] Instead, its chief utility has been as a parent to viburnum hybrids, including Viburnum × burkwoodii (with V. carlesii) and Viburnum × pragense (with V. rhytidophyllum).[3][4] The V. × burkwoodii cultivars 'Mohawk' and 'Park Farm Hybrid', and the V. × pragense cultivar 'Pragense' have all gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[5]
