Eastern Redbud/ Cercis canadensis - now 25% off*!
Eastern redbuds (Cercis canadensis) are delightful understory trees in the legume family that are native to WNC and much of the eastern half of the USA. In spring, their bare stems are adorned with pink to purple (and rarely, white) blooms, followed by heart-shaped foliage ranging from gold to green to deep red.
Tolerant of full sun to partial shade, they are widely adaptable. A lovely specimen for smaller spaces and good in pollinator gardens and nestled in woodlands at the forest edge. Plant in mass for a dramatic flower show in spring.
There are many cultivars available, including the award-winning ‘Forest Pansy’ (pictured) with incredible red-purple fresh foliage and ‘Ruby Falls’ with a superb weeping form and red to dark purple foliage. The flowers are edible and can be enjoyed in salads or left on the tree for beauty.
According to The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, Eastern Redbuds are important for native bees by providing habitat and/or materials for nest construction. They are also larval host plants, and the bean pods provide valuable food for birds and other creatures.
Redbud trees* are currently 25% off! Take advantage of this rare opportunity to grab some of these beauties at a discounted price.
*With the exception of our 3-gallon Redbuds - they remain at their regular price
