Flowering almond (Prunus triloba) is a shrub for specimen planting and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It blooms with pink flowers in mid spring. It can grow 120 to 180 inches tall and wide, so give it plenty of room.
