Description

The Forest Pansy Eastern Redbud, also known as Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy', is a stunning small tree that is highly valued for its vibrant purple foliage and beautiful spring flowers. It is a cultivar of the Eastern Redbud, which is native to eastern North America.

In early spring, before the leaves emerge, the Forest Pansy Eastern Redbud produces clusters of small, pink to purple flowers along its branches. These flowers are not only visually striking but also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.

This cultivar thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil. It is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate a range of soil conditions, including clay and sandy soils. Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods, to help the tree establish and maintain its health.
