Prunus tenella 'Fire Hill' is a compact flowering shrub grown for its intense early spring display. Before the foliage emerges, its upright stems become densely covered in rich pink blossoms, creating a striking burst of colour at the start of the season. After flowering, narrow green leaves develop, forming a tidy, low-growing framework that remains attractive through summer. Its modest size and spreading habit make it easy to place in borders or smaller garden spaces. Hardy, drought tolerant once established, and visually bold,'Fire Hill' is an excellent choice for adding dramatic spring interest with minimal maintenance.
