Stunning form of Eastern Redbud. Bears clusters of near-red buds that open a brilliant, fuchsia pink and clothe the bare branches in spring. Heart-shaped leaves soon follow, maturing to blue green in summer and turning yellow in fall. An easy-care addition to the landscape, lawns, shrub borders, woodland margins, or along patios. Attractive in naturalized settings.
