Prunus cerasifera ‘Spring Glow’ Tree (Cherry Blossom) (12-Litre Pot)

The Prunus cerasifera ‘Spring Glow’, or Cherry Blossom Tree, has clusters of bright pink single blooms that cover dark purple branches to create a magnificent spring display.

The bright flamingo pink flowers appear like a burst of colour against the purple branches, that light up the garden in spring. In addition to this, it has incredible oval shaped bronze-purple foliage that emerges as the flowers fade, adding further interest to admire through to autumn.

In addition to its range of beautiful ornamental features, the blooms are an excellent way to attract bees and other pollinators into your garden. This has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society who have added it to their Plants for Pollinators Collection.

If you need something to brighten up a small space, then its compact and relatively small size makes it a great choice. To get the most from your tree plant it in a bright and sheltered position, in full sun, in almost any soil type that is moist and well drained. You can then enjoy many years of interest and colour for your outdoor space.
