Redbud, Forest Pansy
Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy'
Discontinued
A unique redbud native that is larger than C. reniformis, but smaller than Eastern Redbud. Although it naturally is a multi-trunk small tree, they are often pruned to be single trunk. It thrives in fertile soil with regular watering.
Clusters of rosey-pink flowers appear in the late winter to early spring before foliage, and continue for a couple weeks as the leaves begin to emerge. The leaves are a gorgeous scarlet-purple in color, that matures to a maroon shade. Although it is heat and drought tolerant, the leaves will turn an ugly shade of green when exposed to temperatures over 90F over long periods of time.
