Redbud is a beloved small native tree that bursts into brilliant pink blooms in early spring before the leaves emerge. Heart-shaped leaves follow, creating soft texture through the growing season. It provides early nectar for pollinators and light shade for understory plantings. Redbud thrives in sun to part shade and well-drained soils.
