Redbud 'Ruby Falls' - Cercis Canadensis
This beautiful weeping Redbud is small in size, yet forms elegantly and catches your attention. Lavender colored flowers sprout from red stems in the spring before the foliage. They stay around for a few weeks before heart shaped, maroon leaves make their entrance on the tree. As spring progresses into summer, you’ll notice that the foliage starts to change color and turn to shades of dark green with violet streaks. These will last throughout the entire season and even during the fall, only tapering off when colder winter temperatures arrive. This Redbud really keeps your landscape alive for as long as possible, creating an eye grabber all year round!
