Insights
The name Cercis comes from the Greek word Kerkis referring to the shuttle used by weavers, which is the same shape as the seed pods produced by the Cercis. It is sensible to place this shrub at the back of the border due to its size but it is worth considering how beautiful the leaves are if backlit by the sun.
