Cercis canadensis 'The Rising Sun'

A "Gotta-Have-It" plant. The leaf colors are spectacular, with new growth starting apricot, graduating to vivid gold, and finally to bright green. Excellent for wildlife, too – in spring, butterflies and early-arriving hummingbirds love the nectar of the small, bright pink flowers. Later, the seeds attract a number of songbirds.
