Plum – Beach Plum

Description

This woody perennial is a gorgeous triple threat producing showy snow-white blooms; verdant foliage that morphs into shades of merlot and marmalade; and diminutive fruit that can be used to make many delectable items including jams, jellies, and wine.

Beach Plum is the perfect choice for any newbie gardener. Low maintenance, this dense, low-growing, upright, deciduous shrub is drought tolerant and resistant to deer and rabbits. Native to sandy locations on the east coast of the United States, its vigorous root system can be used for deterring beach erosion. Additionally, this pollinators’ dream can grow in a variety of well-drained soils. Hardy and striking, Beach Plum poses minimal problems, while its sweetly perfumed blooms and edible fruit offer maximum appeal.
