If nothing else, this is one to grow just for the jaw dropping scent of the
|
|||
|
|
flowers this time of year! The Purple Leaf Sand Cherry is a true low maintenance shrub.
|
|||
|
|
It isn’t picky about soil or moisture, so long as it isn’t planted in boggy soil.

The purple leaves make a nice accent shrub for a garden that doesn’t have enough contrast
|
|||
|
|
in foliage colors, and looks particularly vibrant planted with some Spirea or ornamental
|
|||
|
|
grasses at its base. Unlike some purple shrubs that turn green in summer heat Purple
|
|||
|
|
Leaf Sand Cherry stays purple, and has red fall color.

Perfect for the florist out there looking for some added interest to their bouquets🌹.

|||
|
|
Purple Leaf Sand Cherry can be used as a deciduous hedge or limbed up for a small tree as well.
|
|||
|
|
It grows 6’-10’ tall and 5’-6’ wide.
|
|||
|
|
This is an extremely low maintenance shrub, which responds well to pruning, but does not need it.
