Prunus subhirtella 'Autumnalis'

Autumn Flowering Cherry

Autumn Flowering Higan Cherry (Prunus subhirtella ‘Autumnalis’) brings pale blossoms to more than one part of the year. Deep pink buds open to semi-double flowers that soften from light pink toward white.

The main display comes in spring, with occasional flowers possible in fall. Upright branches build a rounded crown that flattens as it spreads, while glossy dark green leaves fill the canopy during the growing season.

Choose a sunny site with enough space for the crown.
