Cercis Trees (Redbud)

Cercis, more commonly called Redbud, is a stunning, deciduous, flowering tree appreciated for its heart-shaped leaves, delicately-sweet fragrance, and clusters of pleasingly-colored, pea-like flowers that erupt in early spring. The blossoms, typically in shades of pink, purple, or white, appear directly on the tree's branches and trunk before the foliage emerges, creating a breathtaking display that is a sure sign of spring’s emergence. As the season progresses into summer, the tree's profuse green, yellow, or burgundy leaves provide shade and beauty, with some varieties turning gold in the fall. Cercis thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil; it is an outstanding choice for a variety of landscapes, including gardens, parks, and urban settings. Redbud trees are relatively low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and attract pollinators such as bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. Their comparatively compact size makes them perfect for smaller spaces or as a focal point in larger gardens.

At GrowJoy, we take great care in cultivating our Cercis starter plants using sustainable practices to ensure they are safe for your garden and beneficial to pollinators. Each tree is nurtured to develop a strong root system, allowing it to establish quickly and flourish in your landscape. We guarantee that every Redbud tree will arrive in excellent condition, ready to enhance your outdoor spaces with its springtime, fragrant blossoms and abundant foliage.
