Good plant #162 - Cercis Siliquastrum

This deciduous, bushy and small tree performs well throughout the seasons.  It has pink flowers, followed by bronzey foliage in spring.  Its heart-shaped leaves turn green for the summer; then yellow in autumn.  It has purple-ish seed pods in autumn too.

It will grow in almost any soil provided it is in a sunny or part shady spot.

You can propagate from seed.
