Cercis (Eastern Redbud) - Appalachian Red

In the spring, ‘Appalachian Red’ has bright ruby-red buds that will open into dark neon-pink pea-like flowers that seem to almost glow, perhaps best described as a hot cerise pink. The blooms are abundant creating brilliant display. The spring blooms are followed by heart-shaped glossy, green leaves that cover the bare branches throughout the summer. In the fall, the foliage will turn a beautiful autumnal yellow. Once the leaves fall, the textured bark is revealed providing winter interest.

‘Appalachian Red’ is hardy over most of the country (zones 4-9) and is known for being easy to care for. It does well in most any soil type, excluding sites that are wet. This shrub is very drought tolerant. Plant in an area that receives full sun to light shade, as this will result in the best flower display; avoid areas of dense shade. ‘Appalachian Red’ is a small tree, rarely reaching over 20 feet tall, making it perfect for smaller yards and gardens.
