Chinese Redbud 'Avondale ' - Cercis chinensis 'Avondale'
While this Chinese Redbud looks similar in structure and bloom as the U.S. native, it is much smaller, allowing it for more applications in the landscape. It’s one of the most plentiful flowering of all Redbuds. Its dark rose-purple flowers cover the stems before the foliage that arrises in the spring. It’s truly a spectacular floral display that lasts for several weeks before being joined by large, heart-shaped green leaves. As summer turns to fall, the foliage turns yellow, creating color for your landscape for months!
