Notes
'Centurion' crabapple (Malus 'Centurion') is a tree for borders, pollinator gardens, and low maintenance landscapes. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is fragrant and drought tolerant. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the tree, so it adds life to a garden. Give it plenty of room because it grows into a large tree.
Pairs well with Gertrude Jekyll rose, Perennial candytuft, and Switchgrass.
