notes
This lovely redbud is the most beautiful specimen tree for the garden. Small in habit with an umbrella shape, the deciduous foliage unfurls in dark maroon before becoming green with a white margin. This variegated appearance is most appealing, made more so by the heart shaped leaves. In spring it bears pretty, dark pink pea-like flowers, held on bare stems before the leaves appear.

- Height and Spread: 300cm (9ft 10in) x 300cm (9ft 10in) over 10-20 years
