The 'Ft. McNair' is known for its long stalks of vibrant, pink flowers that emerge in the spring. It will grow 30-35' tall and 20-25' wide at full maturity. Its dark green foliage turns golden yellow in the fall. Its pollution tolerance makes it a great option for urban planting.
The 'Black Pearl' is admired for its intensely dark-purple, heart-shaped foliage. Beautiful lavender blossoms cover the entire tree in early spring, and foliage appears soon after blooms have fallen. This variety will get 15-20' tall and 20-25' wide at full maturity. They are shade tolerant, but the foliage color will be much more vivid when planted in full sun.
