Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy' is a popular cultivar of Eastern Redbud, distinguished by its deep purple, heart-shaped leaves that emerge after the rosy-pink spring flowers. The foliage holds its color well into summer, turning bronzy-green in heat. It has the same graceful, spreading habit as the species, reaching 20–30 feet. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. The purple leaves provide a striking contrast in the landscape.
