Burgundy Hearts Cercis, Eastern Redbud Burgundy Hearts, Cercis canadensis 'Greswan'
Prized for its dark foliage, Cercis canadensis Burgundy Hearts (Eastern Redbud) is a striking deciduous tree with multiple seasons of interest. A profusion of pea-like lavender-pink flowers held in clusters cover the bare branches for several weeks in the spring, before the foliage emerges, creating a most dramatic display. The foliage of heart-shaped, shimmering red-purple leaves retains its burgundy color through the summer. The summer foliage turns pretty shades of yellow in the fall. A great small ornamental tree for specimen use in the landscape.
Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis), along with Western Redbud (Cercis occidentalis), Chinese Redbud (Cercis chinensis), and Judas Tree (Cercis siliquastrum), belongs to the legume family Fabaceae, sharing its lineage with plants such as peas, beans, lupines, and orchid trees.
