Cercis canadensis ‘The Rising Sun’
Eastern Redbud - The Rising Sun
NATIVAR – An outstanding Eastern Redbud! New foliage emerges orange and matures to various shades of yellow, orange and chartreuse green mimicking rays of sunshine. This effect is repeated throughout the summer as new leaves continue to emerge. Eventually older foliage matures to a lime green. Fall colouration is the typical yellow with a hint of orange. All of this with the traditional rosy-lavender pea-sized flowers in early spring. Grows 12′-15′ high and wide.
