A popular dwarf peach that is quite ornamental, with showy pink flowers in spring and a low, spreading habit; stunning burgundy-purple leaves all season long; will tolerate some shade but needs full sun most of the time and well-drained soil

Ornamental Features

Bonfire Dwarf Ornamental Peach is covered in stunning clusters of fragrant pink flowers with coral-pink eyes along the branches in early spring, which emerge from distinctive rose flower buds before the leaves. It has burgundy deciduous foliage which emerges dark red in spring. The serrated narrow leaves do not develop any appreciable fall color. However, the fruit can be messy in the landscape and may require occasional clean-up.
