Lavender-pink flowers hug the branches in spring give way to pretty heart-shaped leaves splashed with white variegation. Handsome ornamental tree will steal your heart. Medium-sized tree that will fit into most gardens, yet it eventually grows big enough to sit under during the dog days of summer. Deer resistant. Attracts pollinators.
