It is a deciduous small- or medium-sized tree, which is planted for its foliage and for the plenty of beautiful flowers, which sit on the branches. It is fast-growing in his youth. The very showy, purplish-pink, butterfly-flowers appear in April and May. Its leaves are 10 cm long, 12 cm wide, deep heart-shouldered, intact edged, bronze-toned when the leaves start coming out.
Because of its dense, bushy growth, a unique, Mediterranean-style trimmed hedge can be brought out of it, which delights us with wonderful purple flood of flowers at spring!
In respect of apiary, it could play an important role too, because the bees are very pleased to visit diligently, furthermore, its flowering time at the end of April or early May period comes after the end of the fruit trees` but before the beginning that of acacia.
