Purple Sand Cherry - Surprise

I have two of these bushes which I bought and planted at the end of August last year. They grow to about four feet at maturity. I bought them for the deep purple brown shade to contrast with other bushes. Guess I wasnt paying attention as they were in full bloom when I came out into the garden this morning. I had no idea that they bloom. A very pleasant surprise.

LOL.....what a great surprise Mike. I've just been setting up a display of these at work....they aren't quite at the blooming stage yet.

How beautiful. Purchased for the dark foliage which really makes these little white blooms stand out.
