You’d have to contact Dawes directly to find out. There is a link in the article for the website, and you’d find contact information there.

I wondered if you will be offering any ‘park farm hybrid’ viburnums during the spring plant sale? The dawes arboretum came up in my search for this plant. Seems to be a common variety in the UK but haven’t had any luck finding this cultivar anywhere. Any help woulf be appreciated.
