Purpleleaf Sand Cherry Plant

Description

The Purpleleaf Sand Cherry is a fragrant flowering shrub that grows up to 8 feet tall. It is grown in zones 2-8 and is known for its stunning purple foliage.

Purpleleaf Sand Cherry

Purpleleaf Sand Cherry (Prunus x cistena) is a beautiful and popular ornamental shrub that is known for its deep purple foliage and its abundant blooms of white flowers in the spring. It is a hybrid of the American sand cherry (Prunus pumila) and the purpleleaf plum (Prunus cerasifera).

Purpleleaf Sand Cherry typically grows to be 6-10 feet tall and 8 feet wide. It has a dense, upright habit of growth and small, oval-shaped leaves that are a deep purple color all season long. In the spring, the shrub produces clusters of white flowers that are followed by small, purple fruits.

Purpleleaf Sand Cherry is a relatively low-maintenance plant. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is also drought-tolerant once established. Purpleleaf Sand Cherry does not require much pruning, but it can be pruned in the late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to maintain its shape.

Purpleleaf Sand Cherry is a great choice for a variety of landscaping uses. It can be planted as a single specimen shrub, in groups, or in borders. It can also be used to create a privacy screen or a hedge. Purpleleaf Sand Cherry is also a good choice for planting in containers.

Here are some tips for growing Purpleleaf Sand Cherry:

  • Choose a planting site that receives full sun to partial shade and has well-drained soil.
  • Amend the soil with compost or other organic matter before planting.
  • Water regularly, especially during the first growing season.
  • Fertilize in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
  • Mulch around the base of the shrub to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Prune in the late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to maintain the shape.

With proper care, Purpleleaf Sand Cherry can be a beautiful and rewarding addition to any landscape.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.

We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.

Note
Please note that the plant will be shipped in its pot, securely fastened with multiple layers of clear tape to prevent any shifting or damage during transit. This ensures that the plant arrives to you with minimal damage, safely and securely. We have been employing this method for shipping plants for several years, occasionally using smaller pots for added safety and convenience during transit. It's important to understand that many plants enter a dormant state during the fall and winter months, resulting in the loss of most leaves and appearing dry or lifeless. This is a natural process, and come springtime, they will begin to regrow and thrive once again. Please be aware that due to regulations set by the Department of Agriculture, there are certain plants and sizes that we are unable to ship to California. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
