Cercis canadensis 'Lavender Twist'

A compact variety of Judas Tree, Cercis canadensis 'Lavender Twist' brings seasonal theatre to gardens with its spring floral display, attractive foliage and elegant weeping form. Slender, cascading branches carry clusters of lilac-pink, pea-like flowers along bare stems each spring, creating a delicate floral spectacle before the leaves appear. Once foliage emerges, mid-green, heart-shaped leaves grace the weeping framework through summer, then turn warm golden yellow in autumn for extended ornamental appeal. Its small, pendulous form makes this cultivar perfect for small spaces, courtyards or mixed plantings where its unique structure and multi-season interest can be appreciated. Ultimate height: 1.5m to 2.5m (4.9 - 8.2ft). Ultimate spread: 1m to 1.5m (3.2 - 4.9ft).
