Trees > Cercis canadensis Hearts Of Gold
Cercis Hearts of Gold is an exciting new introduction to New zealand gardeners. Hearts of Gold is a remarkable golden foliaged redbud that is sure to to be every bit as popular as the purple foliaged form, Forest Pansy. New foliage emerges coppery red turning to gold with shaded foliage turning green. Hearts of Gold has the same tiny lavender purple blooms as Forest Pansy produced en-masse in early spring , sprouting directly from the stems and even the oldest of branches.
Hearts of gold can be planted in any sunny sheltered spot in the garden . Soils should be humus rich and free draining. Trees can be pruned up onto single stems or left to grow into a bushy multi stemmed form.
Cercis Hearts of Gold can be used as a specimen tree to brighten a dark corner of the garden or even as a broad deciduous hedge.
