Shrub

Prunus × cistena, also known as sand plum, is an ornamental shrub prized for its dark purple foliage that persists from spring to autumn. In spring, it produces delicate pale pink flowers that contrast beautifully with its dark foliage. Its upright, compact silhouette is ideal for low hedges, structured beds, or isolated plantings. Very hardy, drought-resistant, and easy to prune, it combines long-lasting aesthetic appeal with great adaptability to urban or rural conditions.
