Redbud 'Forest Pansy'
Noted for its striking foliage, award-winning Cercis canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’ (Redbud) is a large deciduous shrub or small, often multi-stemmed tree with profuse, pea-like, rosy-pink flowers that arise before the foliage in spring. The cheerful blossoms are on display for several weeks before being joined by broadly heart-shaped, shimmering red-purple leaves, 5 in. wide (12 cm). As summer turns to fall, the foliage turns attractive shades of orange, bronze, and red-purple. The graceful, flat-topped, vase-shaped habit of this majestic Redbud makes it a great landscape tree.
