PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Prunus incisa `Kojo-no-mai was introduced to the Uk from Japan where it was originally discovered along the Yoshida path to Mount Fuji, hence the common name, which incidentally means, "Flight of the butterflies". An RHS Award of Garden Merit Winner, Prunus incisa Kojo-no-mai is a pretty, delicate looking, but very tough, deciduous shrub with wiry twigs that transform in late winter and early spring when the crimson buds open to display an abundance of fragrant, white, turning pale pink flowers. Flowering early, when the weather is generally colder, means the flowers last a relatively long time. The young leaves are long and pale green, growing darker with age, and turning glorious shades of red and orange in autumn. It has a compact, spreading shape and is slow growing, which makes it an excellent shrub for small gardens, a Japanese-style garden, or Bosnia, for which it is much favoured in Japan. Easy to grow in full sun or semi shade on most fertile, moist, free draining soils. Can easily be grown in a pot. When growing in a pot or other container. Use a good quality compost. Ensure you feed regularly as a hungry plant is a poor performer. We recommend Osmoscote pro 8-9 month applied in the early spring. One application gives all the nutrients the plant requires for the whole year. Makes an interesting hedging plant.

PLEASE READ

Please remember when purchasing from us that we are not a garden centre. In general garden centres sell a range of seasonal plants, that are sold for a limited period of time, when they look at their best. We are a nursery and offer you plants as near to an all year-round basis as possible. This means that at different times of year plants will not look at their best. In winter some may just be a pot of roots, in summer many will have been pruned and in autumn deciduous plants will have leaves that are dying and this will often mean they are mis-coloured and diseased, both natural ingredients of the process of decay and eventually renewal. All our plants have a one year, no quibble guarantee, from the date of order, so in the very unlikely event your poorly looking plant bought in autumn or winter (or in the case of some varieties, in summer) does not flourish in its main growing season, you are protected!
