| Description | Cercis chinensis
Cercis chinensis ‘Chinese Redbud’ originating from China, is a medium sized deciduous tree that makes a wonderful feature, shade tree or mass planted along driveways and Avenue’s. In late spring before the foliage re-appears, the branches are covered with bright pink flowers. The leaves are large, glossy and heart shaped. The Chinese Redbud is frost hardy, and can grow in sandy and clay soils, providing they are well drained.
See our Cercis Factsheet here for more about the different Cercis varieties!

The 'Flame' Redbud is a small feature tree, that unlike other Redbuds, produces vibrant red new growth and double-petal rose-pink flowers. It is a gorgeous deciduous tree that loves both full sunlight and partial shade. This tree is butterfly and bee attracting and is late flowering compared to other varieties, but well worth the wait!

A glossy green, rounded leaf box hedging plant
• Used for low to medium hedging and topiary
• Planted in the garden, along borders, pathways and in pots
• Tolerates shady positions |
| Content | | | If your looking for a small hedging plant then this is the one for you. Dutch Box is a dwarf box that grows with dense, glossy green foliage and works well in shaded areas.
Dutch Box also likes part shade in moist, well-drained soil, but will tolerate a wide range of soils and conditions. It should be clipped to maintain a formal shape.
Slight yellow discolouration of the leaves on Dutch box may occur during cooler months, but don't worry, this is normal! This is remedied by applying with Dolomite Lime, and a slow release fertilizer a month later. Or you can just leave your Dutch Box alone and it will come back lovely and green and spring.
