Cercis can. Merlot

<h2>Cercis can. Merlot</h2> <p><strong>Cercis canadensis 'Merlot'</strong> is a compact, ornamental redbud valued for its dramatic, heart-shaped purple foliage and showy spring blossom. In early spring, clusters of rosy-pink, pea-like flowers appear on bare branches before the leaves, creating a striking display. The leaves emerge a rich burgundy-purple and retain strong colour through the growing season, making this an excellent small specimen for borders, patios, or lawn planting. Grow in a sunny or lightly shaded, sheltered spot with well-drained, moderately fertile soil; minimal pruning is needed, other than removing any dead or crossing shoots after flowering.</p> <p><strong> To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height.
