Cercis griffithii Blue Lagoon ('RAFMAR1') PBRPending

Heesters

Description

Cercis Blue Lagoon is a beautiful shrub or small tree that offers a mix of colour and form. Its heart-shaped leaves emerge in a striking blue-grey tone. Young branches hold a deep red colour that stands out against the foliage. Pink flowers in spring add a soft lift to the display and make sure you can enjoy Blue Lagoon throughout the year!

Cercis Blue Lagoon requires minimal maintenance and boasts a beautiful, upright habit that fits well in many planting schemes. The foliage stays blue from spring to autumn for long-lasting colour. Pink flowers open before the blue-grey leaves and give a clear sign of early spring, even in cooler weather. This early bloom supports pollinators and helps keep the garden lively and balanced.

Blue Lagoon grows up to 2–2.5 metres high after 5–7 years and reaches around 1.5 metres wide — plant in moist, well-drained soil in full sun. Pruning is possible to maintain shape. Hardy to -15 °C.
