Success Starts With Soil

This compact ornamental tree delivers big impact in a small space. In early spring, its bare branches burst with vivid violet-pink flowers, followed by deep burgundy-purple foliage that lasts through summer. Its petite size, brilliant color, and easy care make it perfect for small gardens, patios, or as a striking focal point in mixed plantings.
