Redbud - Eastern, The Rising Sun

Cercis canadensis

Description

Redbuds are native to the northeastern United States, bearing pea-shaped lavender flowers in early spring. Leaves are heart-shaped. The leaves of The Rising Sun varietal emerge as peach-colored, then transition to a vibrant bright green, and mature to a deep green. Leaf colors are simultaneously present through early summer, making for a stunning display. The shrub is versatile and well-suited for growing areas in sun or part-shade. Flowers are edible and make a great addition to fresh spring dishes. Blooms also attract beneficial pollinators.
