The bloom resembles that of a honeysuckle except it is pink. This variety will spread somewhat by underground runners. This too is a deciduous variety with the blooms appearing before the leaves do, which make the pink flowers really stand out. It does well in cold climates as well as warm. This is a very adaptable plant.
Foliage turns red in the fall.
A very pretty low growing tree that has purple flowers in the summer. Does not have sharp thorns as regular Locust Trees do. It will spread by underground runners so give this tree some room to naturalize. The flowers are purple and appear in the summer and the bumblebees love them. Has a light red fruit that is edible, but maybe a little tart tasting, Will spread and make a large colony.
