Description
Add multi-season beauty and versatility to your garden with the Sandcherry (Prunus pumila), a hardy ornamental shrub prized for its fragrant white spring blooms and tart edible fruit. In mid-spring, clusters of star-shaped white flowers appear before the foliage, followed by showy burgundy-black cherries in summer that are excellent for making preserves. The gray-green leaves with silvery undersides provide interest throughout the season, turning rich brick red in the fall.
This rounded, low-maintenance deciduous shrub thrives in full sun and sandy soils, and is especially well-suited to dry or xeriscape gardens. Drought-tolerant and cold-hardy down to zone 2, Sandcherry is a smart, resilient choice for challenging conditions. Its compact 6' x 6' habit makes it a great fit for borders, wildlife gardens, or edible landscapes.
Each plant comes in a #7 (7 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
