Native beauties

Ruby Falls Redbud is perfectly suited as a specimen plant due to its eye-catching weeping form, elegance, small stature and maroon foliage.Garden centers are snapping up new Eastern Redbud varieties from Garden Debut. These small ornamental trees contribute to great landscape design and easy-care maintenance. As an added bonus, these fresh cultivars enrich gardens with year-round, attention-grabbing colors and silhouettes. Take a look at The Rising Sun, Burgundy Hearts and RubyFalls—three outstanding Redbud additions that provide unique flower- and leaf-color choices.

Native Redbuds adapt easily to soils and climates, require less care and watering when established, and solve landscape problems that non-natives can’t. They attract birds, butterflies and bees, offer food and shelter for many species all year long, stay greener longer and make it easy to be successful in the home landscape.

Harbingers of spring, Redbuds provide a picture-perfect understory, are ideal specimens for accent plantings, naturalized in shrub borders, perfect for smaller, in-town neighborhoods and effective as residential street trees (underneath power lines).
