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.
