Sand Cherry Jade Parade

Common Name: Sand Cherry

Botanical Name: Prunus pumila 'UCONNPP002'

Variety: Jade Parade

Blossom Color: White

Bloom Time: Spring

Zone: 3 to 7

Exposure: Sun

Mature Height: 2-3'

Mature Width: 4-6'

Notes: This shrub is a great alternative to Low Grow Sumac and for mass, ground cover plantings. The foliage is an attractive glossy blueish-green, turning shades of yellow, orange, and red in the fall. Jade Parade® has a spreading habit, but rather than just creeping along the ground, the branches arch upwards. The bonus in spring is the small ½” white blooms that flower profusely along the stems and are followed by small black cherries in late summer. Very tolerant of full sun and dry conditions once established.
