Cercis canadensis Lavender Twist ('Covey')
redbud Lavender Twist
A weeping form of American redbud, which is a great little tree for smaller gardens. In early spring, it really puts on a dazzling show when its bare branches are laden with good-sized clusters of lilac-pink flowers. As these fade, lush green heart-shaped foliage appears and this turns buttery shades in the autumn. This plant will happily grow in a large pot, provided it is kept well fed and watered.
