Cercis canadensis Eternal Flame ('Nc2016-2')

A deciduous, fairly small multi-stemmed tree with glossy red leaves which gradually turn to beautiful shades of orange and yellow from May through until the autumn. The foliage is unusual as it shows a 'graduated' effect of all those different shades throughout those months. Once mature, dark pink flowers appear on the stems, before the leaves in mid spring. Easy to care for and good for smaller gardens, even if grown in a pot or container
