Cherry blossoms with double flowers are a type of cherry blossom that has more than five petals per flower. They are also sometimes called double-flowered cherry blossoms or peony-flowered cherry blossoms because their blooms resemble peonies.
These cherry blossoms are popular ornamental trees, prized for their abundant and showy flowers. They are not commonly found growing in the wild but cultivated in parks and gardens.
There are many varieties of double-flowered cherry blossoms, each with its own unique flower color, size, and blooming time. Some popular varieties include:
Shirofugen: This variety has large, pink, fragrant double blooms.
Kwanzan: This is a popular variety with large, pink double blooms that bloom later than other varieties.
Fukushima Kasumi: This variety has large, white double blooms with a hint of pink in the center.
