Forest Pansy Redbud 1 Live Tree – Cercis canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’ – 3 Gallon Pot

Forest Pansy Redbud (Cercis canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’) is a deciduous ornamental tree admired for its deep burgundy-purple, heart-shaped leaves and abundant rosy-pink to purple spring flowers. The blossoms emerge along the branches in early spring, often before the foliage develops, creating an attractive seasonal display.

This Eastern Redbud cultivar develops an upright, spreading growth habit with gracefully branching stems. Its distinctive purple foliage provides ornamental interest throughout the growing season, sometimes transitioning toward bronze-green tones during warmer weather. Forest Pansy Redbud is well suited to specimen plantings, woodland edges, mixed borders, and residential landscapes.

This listing includes one live Forest Pansy Redbud tree in a 3 gallon nursery pot, approximately 36 inches tall at the time of shipping. It generally prefers full sun to partial shade and moderately moist, well-drained soil. The species Cercis canadensis is native to eastern North America.
