Cercis canadensis 'Covey'

Weeping cultivar; dense umbrella-shaped crown, contorted stems arching to pendulous branches. If staked, may eventually rise to 8-10'. If not, it may never exceed 5'. Clusters of tiny lavender-pink pea-like flowers bloom for 2-3 weeks in early spring followed by heart-shaped foliage. Red tinting matures to blue-green and finally yellow.
