Cercis siliquastrum Showgirl

Cercis siliquastrum Showgirl, commonly known as the Showgirl Judas Tree, is a striking deciduous tree prized for its profuse spring display of vibrant pink, pea-like flowers that emerge directly from the branches and trunk before the heart-shaped green leaves appear. In autumn, the foliage turns a rich golden-yellow, adding seasonal beauty. Growing to around 5–6 meters tall and wide, it is perfect for feature planting in gardens, parks, or streetscapes.

To grow Showgirl, plant it in full sun with well-drained soil. It thrives in Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide, tolerating a range of soil types, including clay and sandy soils, as long as drainage is good. It is drought-tolerant once established but benefits from deep watering during extended dry periods. Minimal pruning is required, except to shape the tree in winter. Low-maintenance and highly ornamental, Showgirl

is an eye-catching addition to any landscape.
