Check around your local nurseries for a forest Pansy tree many will order one for you.
Be sure to plant in protected area from harsh winds sun .
I started one from seed over 15 years ago they grow slowly the first few years it's now about 15'.-20'. The early spring flowers and new leaves are to die for.

Combo pic with purple clematis in bloom.
I train and trim mine like a bonsai. Keep them open aphids luv them.

Beautiful! There are no local nurseries around here but I do plan trips to some when possible. It's so fun that you started yours from seed. That makes it extra special. : )

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. (-Unknown)

The new leaves of Loropetalum 'Carolina Midnight' look like blooms. So pretty!
