Prunus mume 'Hong Xu Zhusha', commonly known as Red-Bearded Zhusha or Red-Whiskered Cinnabar Plum Blossom, stands out as one of the most dramatic varieties in the classic Zhusha series – the undisputed "red-bearded king" of flowering plums.

It features intense cinnabar-red double flowers (20-40 petals) that bloom in full, luxurious layers. The real showstopper? Extra-long, vivid red stamens burst from the center like a fiery beard, delivering bold red-on-red drama. The scent is rich and sweet – think honey mixed with ripe fruit – carrying easily across your yard.

One of the earliest and heaviest bloomers, it explodes with color from late December through February, with flowers lasting 4-6 weeks. It's a winter superstar and a favorite for Chinese New Year vibes.
