Pink flowers open directly on the branches and trunk in mid spring before the leaves emerge, creating a vivid and distinctive early display.
Purple heart-shaped foliage provides strong colour through the summer months.
Upright habit, reaching 10 m at maturity; flat seed pods develop in late summer and persist into winter.
Best in partial shade with moist, average, dry, well-drained soil.

Growing & Maintenance Tips

Cercis tolerates varied soil conditions and pHs, but not wet poorly drained soils. Performs best in partial shade. To promote general health, prune out dead branches. Cercis is in the legume family, and thus is capable of fixing needed atmospheric nitrogen.
