Prunus × blireiana (or blireana), the purple-leafed plum[1] or double-flowering plum,[2] is an ornamental flowering plant hybrid in the genus Prunus. It is a cross between the Japanese apricot (Prunus mume) and the purple-leaved plum cultivarPrunus cerasifera 'Pissardii'.[1][3]
Growing to 4 m (13 ft) tall and broad, it is a hardy deciduous medium-sized shrub or small tree, with rich pink, slightly scented, double blooms in Spring. The blossom is followed by reddish-purple tinged leaves which turn green as the season progresses.[4]
The plant was named for the town of Bléré, near Tours, France, and raised by the Lemoine nursery c. 1905. [5]
