Ashamed to say I'd never heard of it, Wim  :-[

 RHS Plant Finder says it was last listed in the UK in 2009 and  was " cited in The Garden (2008) 133 (4) p. 251, _253_ "

 Good luck!

Six nurseries in the USA list it Wim, but I guess you were looking for somewhere closer to home?

Hello Wim,

Have you tried Pepiniere "Le Try"?
They have many different Cercis.
Yours is not in their list, but I can imagine they have more then there is on the list.

Sorry, but I do remember visiting a great nursery in Boskoop, The Netherlands.
Again it is not on their list, but they are very nice people and maybe they can help you anyway.

Yes, Kristl has seeds of Cercis canadensis, but it's the normal green leaved one....very nice too...but I'm really looking for 'Floating Clouds'!

Esveld doesn't have it either....like I thought, probably not yet for sale in Europe!

Ouch!! That is expensive! You'll have to wait a few years, Wim! I had a nice chat with Mark Bulk from Boskoop last weekend. He came down to the plant fair in Spain - and brought me some fine plants :)
