Prunus cistena is a very short growing version of the more commonly known flowering plum tree, only growing to about 6 to 10 feet tall. This flowering plum variety is prized for its masses of light pink flowers and deep purple foliage. Use the prunus cistena in tight spaces around condominiums, town houses or apartment patios. May be grown as a standard in the ground or in large ceramic pots. Grow as a front-yard foundation accent or fit into spaces between driveways. Use this dwarf flowering plum as four matched specimens to create a formal parterre or to emphasize geometry of water features, walkways or living spaces. This colorful plant is hardy to USDA zone 2 and all higher zones. Plant in full sun. Shipped potted in soil to ensure the best possible start when planted in yard or garden
