Cercis Joy's Pride™
Amazingly cold hardy!
Bright lavendar-pink flowers bring joy each spring to Morton Arboretum visitors, where Joy’s Pride™ was discovered and named for the arboretum’s founder, Joy Sterling Morton. Proven reliably cold hardy by Chicago winters in which temperatures have plunged as low as -34 °F, Joy's Pride is a lovely sight after a harsh winter.
