Redbud 'Forest Pansy' - Cercis Canadensis
The Forest Pansy’s smooth, gray branches stretch out vertically, creating gorgeous red/violet flowers that form a canopy of color. Its blooms attract hummingbirds and its spectacular color will wake up your garden weeks before other blooms. Once fall arrives, this Redbud comes to life with color again. Its reddish leaves mix with a deep green in the summer that then begin to mix in splashes of yellow and orange to create a beautiful warm look during the fall. This Redbud is the perfect candidate for beds and borders or to create a long range focal point.
