A beautiful small tree with purple, heart-shaped, leaves and pointed tips. Its leaves are a stunning purple colour during spring and summer before fading in autumn. Its deep crimson, pink or sometimes white pea-like flowers from March to April prove a dramatic spring display emerging before its leaves.
