Prunus CISTENA

Upright, bushy, slow growing shrub which also makes a good low maintenance, deciduous hedge. Alternatively, grow as a specimen shrub in a container on the patio or as a focal point in the garden. Its single, pale pink, fragrant flowers appear in spring, after the young leaves have appeared. The colourful foliage of this Purple-leaf Sand Cherry is red whilst young, turning a more intense red-purple through the summer months and becoming more bronzed in autumn.
