Evans Cherry was developed in Alberta. It was rediscovered in 1976 near Edmonton, AB, by Dr. Ieuan Evans.

Sour cherries are self-fertile; however, planting with additional varieties for cross-pollination can increase yields.

The Majestic Magenta is a compact ground cover plant that blooms with small, rich magenta flowers in early to mid spring. In spring expect an abundance of these star-shaped flowers.

The Majestic Magenta attracts the attention of birds and butterflies and this plant is popular for it’s low maintenance and salt-tolerance.
