Pink Flowering Almond, or Prunus Glandulosa, claim to fame is it’s stunning display of petite, pastel-pink blossoms. In the spring, this vigorous shrub will outperform its neighbors with hundreds of double-pink flowers attached to robust, brown stems. In late April, when the flowers open, your yard will ‘bee’ buzzing with excitement. This versatile plant was a favorite of Thomas Jefferson and planted all around his Monticello estate.

Small and compact, the Pink Flowering Almond is dense and has a multi-stemmed growth habit. It’s great for small spaces. Butterflies and honeybees adore these blooms as much as you will. After the flowers, shiny green foliage appears that turns a coppery-yellow in the fall. This magnificent plant can grow up to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, but does not produce edible fruit. This deciduous shrub is great to use in planters, in groups, and in pollinator gardens.

Dwarf Pink Flowering Almond Care

Flowering Almonds are adapted to a wide range of climates. They like to be in well-drained, medium-textured soil, where they will receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Flowering almonds are somewhat drought tolerant but prefer moist soil throughout the season. Fertilize with a good tree and shrub fertilizer to maintain growth and flower production. Add 3 inches of mulch to protect the plant from moisture stress.

Pink Flowering Almonds should be pruned right after flowering to keep the plant-size in check. Remove a few of the oldest and thickest stems every year to ensure a good flower crop for the following year. Also remove any suckers to keep the plant tidy. If stored in a container make sure that the roots are covered in the winter to prevent damage to the plant.

Dwarf Pink Flowering Almond Spacing

Plant Pink Flowering Almond trees at least 5 feet apart. If your soil has bad drainage you can build a mound 3 feet wide and 18 inches tall to give the roots some air.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
