Plant of the Day

Monday 6 January 2025

The heart-shaped, deep red-purple foliage of Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy' (purple eastern redbud) produces these amazing shades of orange, bronze and red-purple in autumn. This large deciduous shrub or small, often multi-stemmed, tree is best planted in the final location when young as older plants resent being moved.

Eastern Redbud Tree

Cercis canadensis

This small tree in the legume family showcases lovely pink blooms in spring and is native to much of eastern North America. They grow in a variety of habitats, but prefer well-drained slopes in woods without many other plants to compete with. Its flowers are pollinated by carpenter bees and other bees with long tongues, and the leaves provide food for several caterpillar and moth species. The flowers on this tree are also edible and contain beneficial anthocyanins, a group of antioxidants.

Finished a monster OC, I put way too much effort into this, lmao. It took literal hours 😭

Named Cercis because their 'hair' and the trees on their head are meant to be redbud trees (cercis canadensis)
