The 'Forest Pansy' Redbud features heart-shaped leaves that emerge a deep reddish-purple in spring, gradually maturing to a rich maroon colour as the season progresses. The foliage provides a beautiful contrast against the tree's delicate, pinkish-purple flowers that appear in clusters along the branches in early spring, before the leaves fully emerge.

This deciduous tree typically reaches a height of around 3-4 metres, with a spread similar spread. It has a pleasing, rounded shape and a moderate growth rate. The 'Forest Pansy' Redbud can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions, but it prefers well-draining soil and a spot with full sun to partial shade.

Aside from its striking foliage and lovely flowers, this Redbud variety also attracts pollinators like butterflies and bees, adding to the beauty and ecological value of your garden. Its relatively small size makes it suitable for both large and small landscapes, and it can be used as a focal point, specimen tree, or even in group plantings.

To care for your Cercis Canadensis 'Forest Pansy,' regular watering, especially during dry spells, is essential for its establishment and overall health. Mulching around the base of the tree can help retain moisture and suppress weed growth. Pruning is generally minimal, but any necessary shaping or removal of dead or damaged branches should be done in late winter or early spring.

FAQs

We recommend planting your Cercis in its final place as they do not like to be relocated once settled. Try to remove any damaged branches during the dormant season, can tolerate hard pruning in early spring but try to refrain from this until the plant is established. Try incorporating some well rotted manure into the planting hole to stimulate new growth and stake if necessary.
