About This Plant
Prunus sargentii (Sargent Cherry), 'Sargent Cherry' is valued in the landscape for character, form, and seasonal interest.
Sargent Cherry , among the hardiest and longest-lived ornamental cherries; pink spring flowers, glossy red-orange fall color, and cinnamon-brown bark.
Full sun suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 4 to 7. More borer- and disease-resistant than many ornamental cherries. Generally trouble-free.
For a Pacific Northwest native counterpart in scale and bloom, consider Amelanchier alnifolia (Saskatoon / Western Serviceberry) for white spring flowers and edible blue berries, or Cornus nuttallii (Pacific Dogwood) for show-stopping spring bracts in light shade.
