Leaves are simple and grow alternately, lengths of 3" to 5", leaves have a heart-shape with an entire margin. They are a dark green changing to a clear yellow, with a fall color that is yellow-green. Flowers are rose-pink to magenta, they grow in small clusters of pea-like blossoms that will appear in early May-April.
