A spreading Redbud with heart-shaped leaves in stunning shades of crimson, burgundy, and purple.
The translucent leaves create a beautiful stained-glass effect when sunlight passes through.
In spring, clusters of bright pink flowers appear on the bare stems, trunk, and branches.
Deep purple seed pods follow the flowers, adding further interest.
This hardy, low-maintenance deciduous tree offers year-round colour and can be grown as a large shrub or small tree.
Ideal for the back of a border or against a wall, pairing beautifully with lime green foliage.
Expertly pruned before shipping to encourage a stronger, bushier shape.

Species: Redbud
Foliage Colour: Red, Purple
Flower Colour: Pink
Flowering Season: Early Spring
Features: Autumn Colour
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Soil Type: Any fertile, well-drained soil
Hardiness: Fully hardy (H5: -15 to -10°C)
Habit: Bushy
Eventual Spread: 3m

Planting: Plant 3m apart to allow for spreading. Prefers fertile, well-draining soil but can tolerate clay if drainage is improved by mixing in horticultural grit.
Watering: Water in thoroughly after planting. Water every other day for the first few months, reducing to twice a week until autumn. From the second year, water only during dry spells. It is better to water heavily and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
Feeding: Add a slow-release, general-purpose fertiliser and a layer of mulch around the base after planting. Feed annually in spring.
Pruning: Requires minimal pruning. In late spring or early summer, trim out any damaged, diseased or crossing branches. Always prune in dry weather to prevent fungal infections.
Pest & Disease: Generally has good resistance. Watch for scale insects (remove by hand or encourage predators) and coral spot (prevent by pruning in dry weather).
