Notes

'Pink Perfection' crabapple (Malus 'Pink Perfection') is a tree for pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Pink flowers open from early to late spring and draw butterflies, bees, and birds. The tree is self-fertile, so it can set fruit on its own. Its upright-spreading, vase-shaped form tolerates dry spells once established.

Pairs well with Rowan, Pink Impression tulip, Hardy geranium, and Smooth hydrangea.
