Cercis griffithii 'Blue Lagoon'

An astounding colour breakthrough ? ?Blue Lagoon? is the first ever Cercis with grey-blue foliage. Traditionally known for green, yellow, orange or purple leaves, Cercis now enters an entirely new colour category, offering a cool, luminous tone that contrasts beautifully with the rich red of its young stems.Before the leaves unfurl, the bare stems are studded with butterfly-like pink flowers that support  hungry pollinators and create an early season highlight when little else is happening in the garden. Heart-shaped, silvery-blue foliage follows, retaining its extraordinary colour right through to autumn and transforming Cercis from a spring-flowering feature into a full-season foliage statement. Offering a cool, contemporary palette, it makes a stunning focal shrub or small tree for modern gardens where its graceful, upright forms adds architecture to borders and large containers. This innovative variety offers novelty without fuss. Tolerating heat, sun and variable conditions, its carefree nature makes it ideal for busy gardeners seeking impact with minimal effort.Combining dramatic foliage, spring flowers and wildlife value, Blue Lagoon? stands apart from any other Cercis. Ultimate height: 2.5m (8.2ft). Ultimate spread: 1.5m (4.9ft).
