Glamourous and Fast Growing
Add glamour and style to your garden with this alluring beauty. The dark burgundy color and compact size of Prunus Stay Classy makes it equally suitable for borders, entryways, patios, foundations, and splendid container displays. Unlike other dark-leaved plants, it won’t appear as a black hole in the landscape due to its warm hue and airy, upright branches. Fragrant, petite, white flowers adorn this enchanting small shrub followed by a scattering of small black/purple fruits that are a treat for songbirds. Stay Classy rapidly matures and adds sophistication to your garden or landscape.

Prunus General Information

Ornamental Cherry are great additions to any landscape and sized perfectly for smaller gardens. Flowers brighten our 1st spring days. A free-flowering deciduous shrub with a natural columnar branching habit, very showy! Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Prunus Plant Care

Best grown in moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates part shade, but best flowering and leaf color generally occur in full sun. Blooms on old wood. If pruning is desired, do so immediately after flowering. Plant with some protection from strong wind and early frosts. Prefers well-drained soil.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
