Cercis siliquastrum 'Bodnant Form'
Genus: Cercis
Species: siliquastrum
Variety: 'Bodnant Form'
Plant Type: Deciduous Tree
This form of the "Judas tree" is smothered in particularly dark purple flowers all along its bare twigs in mid spring. The unusual heart shaped leaves are bronze when young, turning fresh green, finally to butter yellow in autumn. It's quite slow growing but will eventually grow to a good size.
