1 Prunus Kojo No Mai Flowering Hedging Plant, Low Maintenance Garden Ready, 3 Litre Root Ball

Prunus incisa 'Kojo-no-mai' is a charming dwarf flowering cherry prized for its distinctive zigzag stems and delicate spring blossom. In early spring, clusters of pale pink to white flowers appear along the bare, angular branches, creating a stunning display before the foliage emerges. As a compact, slow-growing deciduous shrub, it is perfectly suited to smaller gardens, borders, patio containers and low informal hedging.

Through autumn, the small oval leaves turn attractive shades of orange and red, providing a second season of interest. The unique zigzag branching habit adds architectural appeal even during the winter months, making this an attractive year-round garden plant. A recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, 'Kojo-no-mai' is a reliable, hardy choice for UK gardens.
