Die Silber-Mandel (Prunus argentea) ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Gattung Prunus.[1]
Die Silber-Mandel ist ein sparriger Strauch, der Wuchshöhen von ungefähr 2,5 Meter erreicht. Die Rinde junger Zweige ist weißfilzig oder grauseidig glänzend. Die Laubblätter sind 2 bis 4 Zentimeter lang, elliptisch bis eiförmig, nur sehr schwach gesägt, lang zugespitzt und auf der Unterseite weißfilzig. Die Blüten stehen einzeln oder zu zweit. Sie sind hellrosa und nur sehr kurz gestielt. Der Blütenbecher ist breit glockig. Die Frucht ist 15 Millimeter lang, eiförmig, weißfilzig und hartfleischig. Der Steinkern ist schwach streifig gefurcht.[1]
Die Blütezeit liegt im April.[1]
Die Silber-Mandel kommt in Syrien, Libanon, Nord-Irak, West-Iran und Ost-Türkei vor.[1]
Aufgrund ihrer schönen Blüten und Blätter wird die Silber-Mandel in Mitteleuropa manchmal in sonnigen und geschützten Lagen als Zierpflanze kultiviert.[1]

Prunus argentea, sometimes called the silver almond, is a species of wild almond found in the Levant, Turkey, Iraq and western Iran. It is a thorny shrub 0.5 to 3 m tall, with rough gray or brown bark. Its leaves are silvery white due to a covering of pubescent hairs.[3] The leaves have a 1-5 mm petiole and the leaf blades are 10 to 44 mm long and 10 to 23 mm wide. Its inflorescences have red hypanthia and sepals, and pale pink or pink petals. The flowers are borne on a pedicel about 1 to 3 mm long, which lengthens to 2 to 7 mm when the fruit is fully developed.[3] It is found growing in a variety of habitats; open oak woodlands, rocky slopes, dry silted areas, and steep banks of streams, at 500 to 2000 m above sea level.[3] A genetic study showed that its closest relative is probably Prunus haussknechtii.[4][5]
In warmer areas of Europe it is occasionally cultivated as an ornamental garden plant for its fragrant rose-pink flowers and attractive foliage, but it must be planted in a protected spot for best results.[6]
