Purple Leaf Sand Cherry provides bright reddish-purple leaves that turn bronze-green in the fall. In the spring, tiny flowers with a pinkish white hue bloom. The flowers are small, but the impact comes from the shrub blossoming all at once. RED CURRANT QUICK FACTSPURPLE LEAF SAND CHERRY QUICK FACTS
