Flowering Almond

Prunus Triloba

Design with this plant

Overview

The Flowering Almond, Prunus triloba, is a deciduous shrub with an ornamental flourish. It grows to about 10-15 feet high and spans roughly 10-12 feet wide. In mid-spring, this plant displays profuse, double-pink blossoms that emerge before the leaves. Ideal for zones 4-8, it prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Pruning can maintain its rounded shape, and it's a stunning focal point for small gardens.
