Thompson & Morgan Prunus Cistena 3 Litre Potted Plant x 1

Introducing Prunus Cistena, the versatile and stunning Purple-leaf Sand Cherry that adds vibrant colour to any garden. This Prunus x cistena forms an upright, bushy growth, making it an ideal choice for low-maintenance deciduous hedges. Alternatively, it shines as a specimen shrub in a container on the patio or as a focal point in your garden landscape. In spring, delicate pale pink, fragrant flowers grace its branches, creating a beautiful sight after the young leaves have emerged. As the seasons progress, the foliage of this Purple-leaf Sand Cherry truly steals the show. Starting as a rich red when young, it intensifies into a striking red-purple hue throughout the summer months, culminating in a bronzed display in autumn. Occasionally, small blackish-purple fruits appear in July, adding an extra element of interest to this already captivating shrub. With a height and spread of 1.5m (5'), Prunus Cistena is a compact yet impactful addition to your outdoor space. How to Grow: Light - Plant in a sheltered, sunny position. Temperature - Hardy.
