Indian plum is one of the earliest-blooming native shrubs of the Pacific Northwest, producing fragrant white flowers in late winter before its leaves emerge. It performs best in partial shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil and suits woodland or native plant gardens. Once established it is relatively low maintenance and provides excellent early-season food for pollinators and birds.
