Notes
'Amanogawa' cherry (Prunus 'Amanogawa') is a tree for borders, containers, and specimen planting, and it needs little care. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Its fragrant flowers open in spring and again in autumn. Bees and birds visit the tree, and its narrow form fits small spaces.
Pairs well with Bridal wreath spiraea, Snake's head, Autumn fern, and Pansy.
