It will be hard to resist this newest weeping form of Eastern Redbud not just because of its brilliant spring bloom but because of its improved branching habit that is stronger and wider spreading than ‘Covey’. While ‘Covey’ forms a tighter, more narrow, more formal weeping tree, ‘Pink Heartbreaker’ rambles, tumbles and meanders a bit more with its branching giving you a far less formal specimen to work with in your landscape. The bloom, like all Cercis, is fantastic with hoardes of small, lavender-pink buds that are held tightly to branches opening in late April before the foliage emerges. Its a unique look that lasts until mid-May when its rounded foliage emerges red before maturing to deep green as summer approaches. Plant ‘Pink Heartbreaker’ in full sun in a place where it is protected from the harshest of the winter winds.

A Northern Herald to the start of spring! A profusion of bright pink flowers blooms in mass outlining the rounded form. Excellent landscape performance and extremely hardy. Dark green, leathery leaves are heat resistant and wind tolerant. Striking Spring bloom! Foliage is colorful throughout the growing season making this an outstanding specimen tree. Bloom attracts butterflies and birds love this plant’s shelter. Produces less fruit than other Redbuds. Deer resistant!

Prepare to be amazed by this unique, velvety, intense red foliage! MIDNIGHT EXPRESS™ redbud beautifies your landscape well beyond bloom time! These trees have bright pink, pea-shaped blooms in the spring, and have many great features with their healthy, richly colorful foliage and an appealing rounded shape. 

Get ready for a big WOW when you view this plant for the first time because it has all the ingredients of jaw dropping landscape winner. Round and open branched with deep brown bark, ‘Hearts of Gold’ will flower with its striking reddish-purple bloom in late April before the foliage emerges just like a regular Eastern Redbud. It’s a striking show, but it may take a backseat to the show that follows: new foliage that emerges chartreuse in color and matures to big, bright gold foliage that keeps its color throughout the growing season. It is so colorful that it may seem overpowering, but it will certainly be noticeable and prized as a specimen tree that keeps on giving! Plant ‘Hearts of Gold’ in full sun to keep its foliage color bright, but in a winter wind protected spot for it to be its happiest.

Narrow form and brilliant foliage make this selection a standout in any landscape! Hot pink flowers form along branches in early spring followed by electric foliage that emerges orange, changes to yellow and stays colorful through the season.

It’s difficult to imagine topping the native magnificence of Cercis canadensis, but in ‘Forest Pansy’, the species is indeed overshadowed by its purple-leaved cultivar. Like the species, ‘Forest Pansy’ is covered with clusters of rose-purple buds, opening in May to trumpet the true arrival of spring with an unrivalled display of deep rose-colored flowers that will appear weeks before the foliage. The flowers are slightly darker than the species and will blanket the branches for 2-3 weeks, finally giving way to big burgundy heart shaped leaves that will become a more muted purple in the heat of summer… what a show! Easily grown in any well-drained soil in full sun or part shade.

If you’re looking for a specimen that will cause a commotion, look no further than ‘Covey’. This showy selection combines the electric, reddish-purple flowers of the species with an amazing weeping form and arching stems to produce a truly unique landscape experience.

The weeping and rounded tree put on a spring show with colorful purple flowers that adorn its stems, giving way to unique heart-shaped foliage that bursts with shades of pink, red, white, purple and green.  Lovely umbrella form makes it perfect for specimen use, and its smaller size provides options for smaller spaces such as patios or small gardens.
