Cercis Canadensis Merlot 300mm

The Cercis canadensis 'Merlot' Tree is a stunning ornamental tree that brings year-round beauty to any garden. In early spring, its bare branches are covered in masses of vibrant rosy-pink flowers before the rich, glossy purple heart-shaped foliage emerges, creating a spectacular display. With its improved branch structure, compact growth and striking foliage colour that holds well throughout the season, 'Merlot' is an outstanding feature tree for smaller gardens, courtyards and landscape plantings. It provides exceptional colour and elegance from spring through autumn.

Tip: Plant in a sunny to partly shaded position with well-drained soil for the richest foliage colour and best flowering. Apply a layer of mulch to help retain moisture and lightly prune after flowering to maintain its attractive natural shape.
