Cercis chinensis 'Diane'

Cercis chinensis 'Diane'

Cercis chinensis 'Diane' is popping out in flower as the daylight lengthens and the days get warmer. We love watching these little buds pop open to reveal the deep purple-pink pea-like flowers on the bare stems.

Heart-shaped, dark green leaves, red-purple when they unfurl and turning yellow in autumn. Bred in Kent.

Each year Corylopsis herald the arrival of spring with their pendant racemes of fragrant, pale primrose yellow flowers hanging from bare branches between March and April. They are worth checking out right now.
