Purpleleaf Sandcherry (Prunus x cistena) or Dwarf Red-Leaf Plum, is a deciduous shrub prized for its striking foliage and delicate flowers. It is characterized by its deep purple-red leaves that create a dramatic contrast in the garden. The foliage colour intensifies throughout the growing season, providing a visual focal point. Purple-Leaf Sandcherry reaches a height of 6-10 feet and spreads 5-8 feet wide, making it a suitable choice for hedges, screens or speciman plants.
