Prunus glandulosa 'Alba Plena' is a compact flowering shrub grown for its spectacular early spring display. Before the leaves appear, the branches become densely covered with small, fully double white flowers, creating a bright, almost frosted effect across the plant. The naturally low, rounded habit makes it easy to place in borders or smaller garden spaces, where the blossom can be enjoyed at close range. After flowering, fresh green foliage develops, forming a neat framework for the rest of the season. Hardy and dependable, 'Alba Plena' is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking bold spring interest from a compact, low-maintenance shrub.

How to care for Prunus glandulosa 'Alba Plena'

Light:
Full sun gives the best flowering display; light shade is tolerated but reduces bloom quantity.

Soil:
Prefers fertile, well-drained soil; grows in most garden soils provided drainage is good. Avoid winter wet.

Water:
Water regularly during establishment; once settled, it generally copes on rainfall, with extra watering only in prolonged dry spells.

Pruning:
Prune immediately after flowering to keep a compact shape and encourage strong flowering wood for the following year.

Hardiness:
Fully hardy in UK conditions.

Feeding:
Apply a spring mulch; feed lightly only if growth is weak or soil is poor.
