Cercis canadensis ‘Hearts of Gold’
Eastern Redbud - Hearts of Gold
NATIVAR – A golden Eastern Redbud. New foliage emerges with a red tone, quickly transitioning to bright golden in colour on semi-pendulous stems. As you move along the stems, the golden colouration fades into dark green, the more shade it gets. Lavender-purple pea-like flowers appear early spring before foliage. Grows 15′-20′ high by 25′ wide.
