Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy' is a cultivar of eastern redbud tree known for its striking foliage and profuse, pea-like rosy-pink flowers that appear before the foliage in early spring. These cheerful blossoms persist for several weeks, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds before its broad, heart-shaped red-purple leaves arrive in late Spring. As fall approaches, the foliage turns into attractive shades of range, bronze, and red purple, adding multi-season interest.

Typically found as a small understory tree or large multi-stemmed shrub, Cercis canadensis is slow growing, but can reach heights of 20-30' tall. This cultivar's vase-shaped, upright habit makes it a great, compact specimen tree to attract birds, butterflies, and bees. As an understory tree, 'Forest Pansy' prefers full sun to part shade and moderately fertile soils with moist, well-drained soils. This cultivar is also deer, walnut, and clay soil tolerant.

Marylanders Plant Trees

From the Maryland Department of Natural Resources:

"We launched Marylanders Plant Trees in 2009 to encourage citizens and organizations to partner with the State to plant new trees. Today, citizens can still take advantage of our coupon program to receive $25 off the purchase of a native tree at 86 participating nurseries across the State. The State cost of $20 per coupon is funded through a settlement from a major power generator for Clean Air Act violations, in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, and Maryland’s participating tree vendors are generously absorbing the remaining $5.

Trees must be planted in the state of Maryland to qualify for $25 off coupon.
Wholesale customers do not qualify.
