Cercis canadensis
Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis) is a stunning small deciduous tree celebrated for its vivid magenta-pink flowers that bloom directly on bare branches in early spring before the leaves emerge. Plant it in well-draining soil in full sun to partial shade, and water deeply during its first two seasons to establish a strong root system. Once established it is very low-maintenance and highly adaptable to a wide range of soil types.
