Perfect for smaller landscapes, this hybrid with lustrous, dark purple, heart-shaped leaves. Foliage is similar to Forest Pansy, but with Texas Redbud in its genes, 'Merlot' offers excellent drought tolerance and thicker, glossier leaves that stand up to summer heat. Tight, dense, semi-upright habit. Bright lavender-pink flowers in spring. Attracts butterflies and other pollinators.
