Cercis Black Pearl™ is a native deciduous understory tree offering multi-season interest, grown for its lovely architecture, dark leaf color, and extravagant spring bloom. Extremely floriferous, this small tree puts on a sensational show in spring, flowering in showy clusters of charming pea-like lavender-pink flowers on bare branches, before the foliage emerges. Dry, flattened, bean-like seedpods follow in mid to late summer. The nectar-rich flowers are a food source for bees and early season butterflies, and the seeds sustain several species of songbirds throughout fall and winter. Its graceful canopy of large, heart-shaped, maroon-colored leaves holds its color through summer and typically turns attractive shades of chartreuse yellow in fall.
