FLATIRON™ Sand Cherry is a low-growing selection of Western Sand Cherry (Prunus pumila var. besseyi), discovered by horticulturist Scott Skogerboe for its exceptionally low habit and vibrant red fall color. Though technically a shrub, FLATIRON™ is best used as a tough, beautiful groundcover. This native plant is a no-nonsense solution for challenging sites that call for a low profile, including streetscapes, gaps in waterwise shrub beds and borders, and rock gardens. In late spring, plants are covered in hundreds of small, fragrant white flowers, followed by months of interest from glossy, teardrop-shaped leaves that turn fiery red in autumn. This selection is both shorter and wider growing than its predecessor, Pawnee Buttes™ Sand Cherry, also a Plant Select® introduction.
