Burgundy Hearts Redbud
®
Cercis canadensis ‘Greswan’ PP19654
The attention-grabbing, heart-shaped foliage of
Burgundy Hearts® Redbud is a sweetheart in the
landscape all season long. Extra-large wine-red leaves
are a perfect heart shape and resemble “hanging hearts”.
They retain the attractive, deep coloration from the
emergence of shimmering new growth in the spring,
throughout the summer and through the end of
the season.
Appearing before the leaves in early spring
(March-April), myriads of showy rosy-purple, pea-shaped
flowers attract bees and humming birds. Cut branches
make good cut flowers and may be forced indoors for
earlier bloom. Large Burgundy Hearts® Redbud
leaves have proved much more resistant to summer leaf
scorch than older maroon-leaved cultivars such as
“Forest Pansy”. Gardeners and the landscape industry
will find this Garden Debut® introduction to be a
sweet improvement.
Characteristics:
Sizeable, burgundy-red heart shaped leaves, excellent color retention in summer through
autumn, a fast growth rate and native resistance to pests and diseases make this small native tree
a sweetheart.
Flowers:
Rosy-purple sweet pea like flowers up and down branches and trunks in early spring.
Growth Habit:
This fast-growing sweetie of a flowering native tree matures quickly to a maximum 20 - 25 feet.
Landscape Use:
Perfect size for suburban landscapes, lawns or streetscapes, and attention-magnet when
planted as a specimen or grouped in commercial landscapes.
