Double Weeping Cherry

About this plant

The Prunus subhirtella 'Pendula Plena Rosea', or Double Weeping Cherry, is an iconic ornamental tree celebrated for its dramatic weeping form and abundant, double pink flowers that emerge in early spring. Its pendulous branches create a captivating silhouette, even in winter, adding year-round architectural interest to any garden. As the seasons progress, the vibrant spring blooms give way to lush green foliage that provides a soft, leafy canopy throughout the summer months. In autumn, the leaves transition to beautiful shades of yellow and orange, offering another seasonal display before falling. Perfect as a specimen tree, along a pathway, or as an anchor in a Japanese-inspired garden, the Double Weeping Cherry brings a touch of classic elegance and breathtaking beauty to your outdoor living space.

Care & maintenance
