This deciduous plant can be grown as a large shrub or small tree. It typically grows to between 20 and 30 feet tall, spreading wider than it is tall to between 25 and 35 feet.

The pink flowers bloom in early spring, covering the previously bare tree with small pea-shaped blossoms. The foliage arrives several weeks later in shades of purple and red. The leaves are broad, measuring around 5 inches across, and they are heart-shaped with a glossy finish. They develop into rich shades of orange and bronze later in the year, adding fall interest to wherever this plant grows.

The tree grows easily in fertile soils that have a consistent level of moisture. Though the tree is suitable for growing in partial shade, it will bloom most abundantly in a position of full sun. However, it is recommended that the plant be offered afternoon shade in hot climates to protect it.

This tree has won the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society.

This deciduous Redbud is commonly grown as both a shrub and a small multi-stemmed tree. It blooms in spring before any of the leaves have arrived, with purple-pink flowers covering the silver branches. As the flowers fade in the summer, they are replaced by purple seed pods, which are so bright that they give the impression of the tree having bloomed twice.

The foliage of the tree starts out as a shimmering bright green, which develops to a darker blue-green in the summer months. Leaves are loosely heart-shaped, coming to a rounded tip instead of being pointed. The foliage undergoes several color changes before the year is out, next to golden chartreuse, before finishing in bronze-red in the fall. When the leaves drop, they reveal the stunning silver-gray skeleton of the tree, providing four seasons of interest.

This tree or shrub is visually striking in the spring when its branches are covered with small lavender flowers before any foliage has a chance to grow. The purple flowers bloom in abundance, with a rounded pea-like appeal. The flowers last for a few weeks before the foliage arrives.

Most redbud trees can grow in full sun or partial shade, though they typically suffer from leaf burn if kept in a full sun position in hot climates. However, this type of redbud tree is the exception, as it can thrive in full sun without experiencing any leaf scorching, making it ideal for a bright spot in your garden. It also does well in partial shade, and its golden leaves can bring a welcome brightness to any shaded areas (Gardenia).

This redbud tree is a dwarf variety, growing to a maximum of just 12 feet tall. This makes it an ideal specimen tree in smaller gardens, and it would also work well when grown in a container. This tree does not like to be disturbed, so ensure you plant it in a good spot because it will not respond well if you try to move it later down the line.

The flowers of this tree bloom several weeks before leaves emerge, adorning the branches with bright pink delicate blooms. The flowers last for 2 or 3 weeks, after which time semi-glossy heart-shaped leaves appear. These leaves unfurl in a dark shade of green, which progresses to yellow when fall arrives.

The branches of the tree grow in a way that creates a dome-shaped canopy, which can be seen even more clearly when the leaves drop. This tree is attractive even when bare, thanks to its elegant silhouette.

This tree often grows with a multi-trunked tree, giving it a slender and elegant appeal. The branches spread out wider than the height of the tree, sometimes as much as 35 feet across. The flowers of the tree bloom in spring before the foliage emerges, covering the branches in small blooms in various shades of pink. Flowers then develop into small pods of seeds, which are brown in color.

When leaves arrive, they are rounded off heart-shapes, in a lime green flushed with red.

This redbud has a compact habit that can grow to a maximum of 12 feet tall and 15 feet wide. It produces densely packed branches that create an umbrella-shaped canopy. In the spring, before leaves have emerged, the tree goes into full bloom with a mass of purple-red flowers decorating the branches. The small and pretty blossoms last for up to 3 weeks before the foliage takes center stage. Leaves emerge as dark green hearts, which then develop to yellow in the fall.

As a small tree, this works well in compact gardens, in beds, or borders. It can also grow well in a container pot. Position it in a full sun spot to encourage the best flower production or situate it in partial shade if you experience especially hot summers, as this could burn the leaves. Maintain moist and even soil, paying extra attention to soil moisture levels if you plant the tree in a pot, as these tend to dry out quicker than if planted directly into the ground.

The tree is popular among pollinators such as bees, butterflies and hummingbirds and will help to encourage this wildlife to visit your garden.

Flowers are a shade of dark pink and are small and dainty. Blooms last for a few weeks, at which time, the foliage makes an appearance. As you might expect from the name of this redbud, the leaves are a deep shade of red, similar to the color of red wine. They tend to be on the small side, vaguely heart-shaped, and with a semi-gloss finish.

The exceptional thing about this tree is that unlike most redbuds, the leaves do not exhibit any signs of burn when kept in direct sun during very hot summers. It is also able to tolerate periods of drought, which is uncommon for redbud trees. Though it is able to cope with drought, this tree grows best if moist soil is maintained.

This tree is native to the eastern Mediterranean region and is therefore sometimes referred to as the Mediterranean Redbud.

The pink flowers last for several weeks before turning into purple dangling seed pods. The seed pods add further interest to the tree and can last right up to winter. The foliage of this tree starts out copper-red, maturing to deep green in the summer and yellow-green in the fall.
