Prunus persica ‘Magnifica’ (Red Flowering Peach)

Prunus persica ‘Magnifica’ is an impressive small deciduous tree celebrated for its spectacular early-spring display. Large, fully double crimson-red flowers cover the bare branches before the foliage emerges, creating a bold splash of colour when many other trees are still dormant. Its attractive vase-shaped form, spreading canopy and gently arching branch tips make it an outstanding feature for lawns, courtyards, cottage gardens and smaller landscapes.

After flowering, fresh light-green foliage provides an attractive leafy canopy through the warmer months before developing yellow-green autumn tones. Adaptable and moderately sized, ‘Magnifica’ is an excellent choice for customers seeking a distinctive ornamental tree with dramatic seasonal impact. Annual pruning immediately after flowering helps maintain its shape and encourages abundant blossoms the following spring.
