In spring, the eye-catching Flame Thrower Redbud tree bursts into bloom with light pink flowers that cover both the branches and even the mature trunks. Its heart-shaped leaves emerge with rich burgundy tones, creating a bold contrast against the blossoms. As the season progresses, some leaves transition to a chartreuse green while others retain their burgundy colour, resulting in a striking multi-coloured foliage display throughout the summer.

Cercis grow in average to medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to partial shade.
