Japanese apricot

Overview

Japanese apricot (Prunus mume 'Peggy Clarke') is a stunning, deciduous shrub with vibrant white flowers. This species is an elegant, easy-care shrub that is ideal for wildlife gardens and patio gardens. Its fragrant, light pink, semi- double flowers bloom in early spring and are followed by edible, dark green, shiny fruits in the fall. Pruning is not necessary, but the plant looks best when the branches are pruned after flowering. Japanese apricot can grow in full sun or partial shade and is drought tolerant. It is sure to be a show-stopper in your garden!
