Cercis siliquastrum Showgirl

Transform your garden into a spring showstopper with the breath-taking Cercis siliquastrum 'Showgirl' (commonly known as the Judas Tree). Renowned for its prolific display, this deciduous feature tree erupts into a dramatic burst of rich, magenta-pink pea-like flowers in early spring—blooming directly on bare branches before the foliage even emerges! As summer approaches, 'Showgirl' transitions into an attractive canopy of heart-shaped (cordate) leaves that shift from light green to deep bronze-tinted green, finishing the year with lovely yellow autumn tones.
