Forest Pansy

Cercis canadensis, Eastern Redbud

The Forest Pansy is an incredibly beautiful small growing deciduous tree with colourful heart shaped foliage. It is noted for its gorgeous rose-purple flowers which bloom profusely on bare branches in early Spring before the foliage emerges, first red in Spring, then deep purple tinged green in Summer, then turning all shades of yellow, red and orange in Autumn.

This tree requires low maintenance, and is perfect for small gardens and courtyards. Should be planted in either full sunlight or partial shade and in well drained soil.
