Prunus pumila Jade Parade® Sand Cherry has glossy blueish-green foliage on outward and upward spreading branches. Beautiful, 1/2-inch, white blooms with a central accent of yellow stamens appear profusely along each stem in spring. Those flowers will then create small black fruit appearing in late summer. The spectacular spring flower display is followed by showy, fiery, orange-red fall colors on finely textured foliage. Jade Parade Sand Cherry is a choice specimen for any landscape!
This extremely cold-hardy and low-maintenance shrub is a fragrant butterfly magnet that also attracts songbirds when the tiny black fruit appears in late summer. This shrub grows well in Hardiness Zones 3-7. Reaching 2-3 ft in height with a wider 4-6 ft. spreading habit, it can be used as a colorful alternative to more common hedging.
Jade Parade® Sand Cherry Care
Plant Jade Parade® Sand Cherry in a location where it will receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day to promote flowering and fruiting. Jade Parade is a rugged, highly ornamental, water-wise shrub. Plant it in well-draining soil. It requires a moderate amount of water during the first season of growth; once it is mature and established, it is tolerant of dry conditions.
Prune Jade Parade® Sand Cherry to shape in spring, directly after flowering because this variety blooms on old growth. Apply a 2-3-inch layer of organic mulch over the root system to maintain moisture, pulling it back from the main stems.
Jade Parade® Sand Cherry Spacing
Jade Parade® Sand Cherry can be planted as a single specimen or used as a deciduous elegant hedge due to its low, compact, spreading habit. To create a solid low hedge, plant it 4 ft apart on center to allow for its mature width.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
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 Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
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. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

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.
