Description

 

Prunus glandulosa alba plena, also known as the "lazy one" for its late flowering, is a small and compact bush that blooms in May. It grows up to 1.5 metres tall and has a round shape with pure white flowers that are small and double, about 4cm in diameter. The leaves are oval, narrow, and slightly serrated, measuring around 10 centimetres in length. This plant produces small red fruits.

 

This bush is often used as a solitary plant in small gardens due to its elegant shape and small size. It can also be used as a focal point in a flower bed or as part of a hedge.
