About this plant

Hessei purple-leaf plum offers pale pink spring flowers and variegated leaves flushed cream and pink against purple tones.

As the plant matures it forms a rounded, branching crown, creating a strong shape through the growing season.

Best used for

Use as a colourful small tree or shrub in a sunny lawn or mixed border.

Give the plant enough space and light to show its natural form.

Growth & mature size

Growth per year 20–40 cm per year Medium growth
Expected mature size 4–6 m high / 3–5 m wide

Expect around 20–40 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 4–6 m in height and 3–5 m in width. Allow room for a rounded, branching crown; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.

How to care

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Water deeply through the first growing seasons and during prolonged dry spells later on. Top-dress with mature compost once a year in spring, keeping it clear of the stems. Remove damaged or crossing wood in dry summer weather, avoiding heavy pruning of this flowering tree.

What you will receive

You will receive a healthy container plant in the selected size. The plant is prepared for delivery and supplied ready for planting.

Natural variation in shape, branching, leaf density and seasonal appearance is normal. Plants may look different depending on the time of year.
