Cercis – Redbud

Cercis, also known as Redbud, is a native flowering tree celebrated for its stunning purple flowers that bloom in spring before the tree leafs out. This small to medium-sized tree makes a great accent or focal point for island beds or near the house. Redbuds feature heart-shaped leaves that create an umbrella shape, turning vibrant yellow in the fall for added seasonal interest. Their flowers are highly attractive to pollinators, making them a valuable addition to any garden or landscape!
