‘Ace of Hearts’ is distinguished by its (a) compact habit, (b) semi-glossy, heart-shaped leaves on zig-zag stems, and (c) dense dome-shaped canopy which typically requires no pruning. It typically grows as a single trunk tree (average diameter of 4″) to 12′ tall and to 15′ wide. Clusters of tiny, reddish-purple, pea-like flowers bloom for 2-3 weeks in early spring before the foliage emerges. Seed pods are rarely produced. Broad, ovate-cordate, dark green leaves turn yellow in fall. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Plants perform best in moderately fertile soils with regular and consistent moisture. Avoid wet or poorly drained soils. Since this tree does not transplant well, it should be planted when young and left undisturbed. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
