Prefers and needs a moist, rich, well-drained soil in partial sun to partial shade for long-term optimum performance, but is somewhat adaptable to many types of soils, soil pHs, dry soils, and other moderately stressful situations. Very cold hardy, to hard freeze.
Cercis canadensis is similar to Cercis siliquastrum.
