Cercis canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’
Description: this small, deciduous shrub or tree has bright pink, pea-shaped flowers that open on bare stems. The flowers are followed
by interesting, flattened, purple pods like long beans. The real appeal, though, are the large, heart-shaped leaves which change from a brilliant,
eye-catching shade of purple in spring, to purplish-black in summer, then to glowing yellow-orange in autumn.
Size: 5m high x 5m wide
Cultivation: prefers a sunny, sheltered position with moist rich soil.
