Carefully grown and selected at our award-winning family nursery in Norfolk, this variety is celebrated for its deep purple foliage throughout the growing season and delicate pale pink flowers in spring, providing both foliage and floral interest.
With its upright yet spreading habit and gracefully arching branches, ‘Spring Glow’ is ideal for feature planting, garden avenues, or mixed ornamental schemes, bringing year-round colour, structure, and refinement to any landscape.
(Prunus × persicoides ‘Spring Glow’ – Ornamental, approx. 20–25ft / 6–7.5m at maturity)
In early to mid-spring, the tree produces clusters of pale pink flowers, covering the bare branches in a stunning display.
Deep purple foliage emerges shortly after flowering, creating a bold contrast with the delicate blooms.
In autumn, leaves may develop warm reddish tones, adding seasonal colour to the garden.
The tree develops a broad, spreading crown with gently arching branches, offering ornamental structure without overwhelming surrounding plants.
Fully hardy and adaptable, this variety thrives in most soil types and performs best in a sunny, sheltered position. Planting directly into the ground allows the tree to reach its full ornamental potential.
