Prunus subhirtella 'Pendula Plena Rosea'

Weeping Cherry

Double weeping Higan cherry (Prunus subhirtella 'Pendula Plena Rosea') drapes its branches with double pink flowers in spring. The hanging framework remains a prominent feature after the dark green summer leaves develop.

The canopy loses its leaves for winter. Autumn color includes bronze and yellow. Allow the natural framework to develop without crowding neighboring plants or paths.

Choose a sunny position with well-drained soil. Water during establishment and allow enough room for the developing crown.
