| Description | Cercis siliquastrum 'Showgirl'
Cercis 'Showgirl' is the narrowest growing of all the Cercis, making it perfect narrow spaces, along driveways and walkways. Its gorgeous heart-shaped foliage is deep green in the summer, turning golden yellows in autumn and in the spring, clusters of purple-pink blossoms cover the bare branches.
