Design with this plant

Overview

The Texas Redbud (Cercis canadensis var. texensis) is a deciduous ornamental tree, notable for its vibrant pink blossoms that adorn its branches in early spring. Maturing to a height of 15-20 feet with an equal spread, it features heart-shaped leaves that transition to green and then to yellow in fall. It prefers well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade. Drought-tolerant once established, it's ideal for small gardens and accent planting.
