Purple Pony Flowering Plum
Prunus cerasifera ‘Purple Pony’
Purple Pony Flowering Plum is a perfectly scaled, dwarf ornamental plum for small spaces. It combines rich, season-long purple foliage with a charming display of light pink early spring flowers. Its compact, rounded form and low water needs make it an ideal, low-maintenance color accent for patios, entryways, or mixed borders where a full-sized tree would be overwhelming.
