About this plant
Known for its captivating, cascading form, Prunus x subhirtella 'Snow Fountains' is a magnificent ornamental tree that transforms your landscape with its early spring floral show. Delicate white flowers blanket the weeping branches, creating the appearance of a living fountain of snow. Following the spectacular bloom, attractive green foliage emerges, providing a lush backdrop throughout the growing season. In autumn, the leaves transition to beautiful shades of yellow and orange, adding a final burst of color before the winter. This cultivar is an excellent choice for a specimen plant, near a patio, or as an accent in a mixed border, bringing year-round interest and a touch of serene beauty to any garden.
Care & maintenance
Prefers well-drained soil and full sun for best flowering. Water regularly during dry periods, especially when young. Prune after flowering to maintain desired shape and remove any dead or crossing branches. Protect from harsh winter winds in exposed locations.
