Cercis chinensis SEEDS

Cercis chinensis seeds grow into the Chinese redbud a deciduous shrub or small tree native to the temperate biome of China, where it is one of the most celebrated ornamental flowering plants in Chinese garden tradition. More intensely coloured than its American relative C. canadensis, the Chinese redbud produces extraordinarily dense clusters of vivid rose-pink to magenta-pink, pea-like flowers that cover the stems in profuse, jewel-like masses in early spring before the large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves emerge. The flower display is particularly dramatic because of the combination of dense blossom clusters and the naturally fine, multi-stemmed shrub habit. Often used as a large formal shrub in Chinese and East Asian garden settings. Family Fabaceae.

Full sun to partial shade; adaptable to a range of well-drained soils; moderately cold-hardy; performs best in warm-temperate and subtropical climates.
