What's happened to the Cercis? It's supposed to be red/purple!

Kim you are quite right, but you know how it is at the garden centre. It was love at first sight. My mind was telling me that it was wrong, but the tree was whispering 'take me!'- I was powerless to resist.
I thought that the leaves would darken to purple with age (silly me).
So, I've been sold a pup. Still, it looks good with the Libertia, and I'm very fond of it.
