flowering almond
Prunus triloba 'Multiplex'
Overview
Flowering almond (Prunus triloba 'Multiplex') is a deciduous ornamental shrub with an attention-grabbing feature—drooping clusters of delicate, lightly fragrant blooms in shades of pink or white in late winter or early spring. It reaches a mature height of 8-10 feet with an equal spread, and has an upright, spreading habit with arching branches. It prefers full sun and soil with good drainage, and makes an attractive hedge or stand-alone planting. This tough, versatile shrub is low maintenance, deer resistant, and drought tolerant once established. Prune lightly in early summer for shape and size control.
