The Purple Leaf Sand Cherry (Prunus x cistena) is a striking deciduous shrub with dark purple foliage, pale pink to white flowers in early spring, and small, tart reddish-purple cherries. It typically grows 7-10 feet tall and 5-8 feet wide. Thriving in USDA zones 3-8, it prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. For best results, water regularly and prune in late winter or early spring. Ideal for adding vibrant color as a specimen plant or hedge, it also attracts birds. Mulch to retain moisture and space plants 4-6 feet apart.
