#ProPlantTips for Care

Enjoy this pretty plant for many years with the proper care requirement. They need at least four hours of sunshine a day, but can tolerate full sunlight with ease.

Because it's cold hardy to zone 4, the Pink Flowering Almond has become a popular addition to the cold country landscapes. Plant in full sun for best results in colder growing zones.

Select this plant only if you have well-drained soil. Dwarf Pink Flowering Almond—though tough—must have well-drained soil.

Keep them in containers or raised beds if you have poor drainage. You can also add more soil to three feet high and 18 inches wide for a planting mound.

Otherwise, it's a widely adapted plant and easy to grow. Apply a moderate amount of water consistently through the summer months.

Use a three-inch layer of mulch to keep the root system cool and moist, pulling it back from the stems. Feed it a good quality fertilizer for flowering shrubs following directions...and please keep nitrogen-rich lawn fertilizers far away from them to protect the blooms.

Prune it right after flowering to keep the plant size in check. Remove a few of the thickest, oldest stems at ground level to renew the next year's flower wood.
