The Purple Leaf Sand Cherry (Prunus × cistena) is a striking ornamental tree known for its deep reddish-purple foliage that adds bold color to any porch or patio setting from spring through fall. In early spring, it produces delicate pale pink flowers that contrast beautifully against its dark leaves, creating a stunning seasonal display. Compact and versatile, it works especially well in large decorative pots, bringing year-round interest and a refined structure to porch décor. This low-maintenance tree is perfect for adding color and elegance without overwhelming smaller outdoor spaces.
