Amygdalus triloba, commonly named flowering almond, is a popular ornamental deciduous shrub originating from China. In early spring, countless bright pink double or semi-double flowers bloom densely on branches before leaves emerge, creating a stunning blossom display. The shrub develops rounded, bushy form and bears small oval green fruits after flowering. Our seeds are harvested from mature wild mother plants, naturally dried and untreated for reliable sowing. This shrub requires cold stratification to break seed dormancy for better germination. Sow in well-drained loamy soil with full sunlight. Water moderately once established; mature plants show strong drought tolerance. It fits perfectly when combined with flowering shrub seeds and perennial landscape seeds to build colorful mixed garden borders.
