Rise and Shine Redbud (Cercis canadensis ‘JN15’) is a deciduous flowering tree that features lavender-purple flowers in early spring, followed by heart-shaped leaves that transition from apricot-orange to yellow, then chartreuse-green in summer, and finally to a brighter yellow in the fall. It thrives in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil and is hardy in USDA Zones 5–9, making it suitable for many areas. This ornamental tree is a moderate grower, reaching a height of 20–25 feet with a similar spread, and is an excellent choice for attracting pollinators and adding multi-season interest to a landscape.
