Redbud 'Ruby Falls', 'Ruby Falls' Weeping Redbud
Noted for its unique weeping habit, award-winning Cercis canadensis ‘Ruby Falls’ (Redbud) is a compact, deciduous tree with profuse, pea-like, dark rose flowers that arise before the foliage in spring on bright red stems. The cheerful blossoms are on display for several weeks before being joined by glossy, heart-shaped maroon-red leaves held on pendulous branches. As spring turns to summer, the foliage turns burgundy before maturing to green in late summer. The small stature of this Redbud makes it a great addition to small gardens.
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.
