Growing and Maintenance Tips:

This cultivar has been selected for its durability in hot climates. Cercis tolerates varied soil conditions and pHs, but not wet soils. To promote general health prune out dead branches. Cercis is in the legume family, and thus is capable of fixing needed atmospheric nitrogen.
