Peppermint Flowering Peach Tree

The Peppermint Flowering Peach is a real conversation piece that will wow everyone, from experienced gardeners to little kids. Everyone loves how every flower is unique, with petals striped or blotched in white, pink and rose-red. Some flowers are solid red and others are solid white – anything goes with this fun tree. It is fast-growing, soon making a small tree with a dense, rounded crown up to 20 feet tall and wide. The flowers are almost 2 inches across, and fully double, carried in March on bare stems. Grow it on a lawn or in a bed, or even in a large planter box.

• Unique multi-colored flowers in white, pink and rose-red
• Bushy small tree to 20 feet tall and wide
• Great fast-growing tree for a new garden
• Attractive glossy leaves turn yellow in fall
• Does not produce edible fruit

Grow your Peppermint Flowering Peach in full sun for the best blooming. It grows well in warm zones, needing some winter chilling but not enjoying cold, wet springs. It grows best in well-drained soil, and even in lighter, sandy soils, but not in wet parts of the garden. Because you aren’t growing it for fruit, any pests or diseases are usually not problems. Prune immediately after flowering to encourage new growth to flower the following spring.
