Silver Cloud (Cercis canadensis ‘Silver Cloud’)
Silver Cloud (Cercis canadensis 'Silver Cloud')
Although Silver Cloud is supposed to be one of the hardiest trees in the US, flourishing everywhere except the most upper midwest, it has to be one of the wimpiest. It has small variegated leaves and purple flowers and so is too cute, but be prepared to give this plant some sun protection. The picture shown is what you would actually get.
