Prunus 'Shogetsu', also known as 'Oku-miyako' or Blushing Bride, is an elegant Japanese flowering cherry with broad, spreading branches. Large hanging clusters of blush-pink buds open to double white flowers in late spring. Its moderate mature size and beautiful low, spreading crown make it a fine specimen for a small to medium garden.

- Graceful spreading habit creates a striking focal point
- Excellent late-spring flowering tree for smaller gardens
What to know

- Prefers fertile, moist but well-drained soil
