Cercis siliquastrum 'Bodnant' infuses spring with vivid purple pea-like blooms that appear directly from bare stems, echoing the flattened purplish pods that follow. This superior variety emerges with bronze heart-shaped leaves, turning green as summer advances. This is a small to medium tree that stays compact and manageable, and and in autumn, the leaves transition to brilliant yellow before shedding.
When planting, add some soil conditioner (well-rotted compost) to the planting hole and some mycorrhizal fungi to aid root establishment.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the collar of the tree is above ground level.
Support taller specimens either with a bamboo cane and or stake during establishment. Water generously around the base of the plant.
