Cercis chinensis Avondale

A beautiful form of Cercis, this species is only a small grower to around 3m x 2m wide. It is multi branched like other Cercis varieties, but a little more upright in form. Deep rose–pink flowers appear in clusters in late winter to early spring on the bare naked stems and branches. Dark green heart-shaped foliage appears in spring and attractive purple tinted seed pods that add an additional decorative feature into summer.
