Prunus x subhirtella 'Southern Gem' has an upright growth habit and produces dainty, semi-double, blush-pink blooms that fade to white throughout the autumn, winter, and spring seasons. Prunus x subhirtella 'Southern Gem' is tolerant of root confinement, making it a good choice for smaller spaces. In the autumn months, the foliage turns shades of yellow, orange, and red, adding a bright splash of color to the landscape. Prunus x subhirtella is a hybrid between Prunus itosakura (syn. Prunus subhirtella) and Prunus incisa. Prunus x subhirtella is deciduous and native to Japan. 'Southern Gem' was developed in Dunedin, New Zealand.

Foliage

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
