Carolina Sweetheart® Cercis, Eastern Redbud Carolina Sweetheart®, Cercis canadensis 'NCCC1', Carolina Sweetheart® Variegated Purple-Leaf Redbud
Prized for its variegated foliage, Cercis canadensis Carolina Sweetheart® (Eastern Redbud) is a deciduous, often multi-trunked tree adorned with a rounded crown. A profusion of pea-like pink flowers held in clusters cover the bare branches in the spring, before the foliage emerges, creating a most dramatic display. The foliage of elegant, heart-shaped leaves emerges a rich purple in spring and gradually turns various shades of white, green, and hot pink, eventually, turning green in the summer. As the leaves drop, they reveal the pleasing silhouette of this eastern redbud. A great specimen or small flowering tree for the garden or woodlands. Developed through the combined efforts of NCNLA and NC State University.
