Description
Cercis canadensis ‘Greswan’ Burgundy Hearts® Eastern Redbud is a striking ornamental tree valued for its vibrant, heart-shaped leaves that emerge a deep burgundy color in spring, gradually maturing to a rich, dark maroon. This deciduous native to eastern North America is renowned for its early spring display of pea-like, rosy-pink flowers that bloom directly on the branches and trunk, a unique trait known as cauliflory. ‘Burgundy Hearts’ distinguishes itself from the species with its consistently dark foliage, offering a dramatic contrast in landscapes and garden designs. The Eastern Redbud has a rich history as a symbol of renewal and beauty in American horticulture, often celebrated for its adaptability to a variety of soil types and environmental conditions. Recognized for its ornamental appeal and ease of growth, Burgundy Hearts® has become a favored choice for both residential and public gardens, contributing vibrant color and seasonal interest from early spring through fall.
