Rising Sun Redbud (Cercis canadensis ‘The Rising Sun’) is a charming deciduous tree is prized for its vibrant, heart-shaped leaves that transition through shades of orange, gold, and green. In spring, it produces a profusion of pea-like pale pink flowers that cover its bare branches, creating a dramatic display. As new leaves emerge throughout the summer, the tree maintains a fiery glow of colors. The foliage turns pretty shades of yellow and orange in the fall, revealing the pleasing silhouette of this Redbud with its smooth tan bark adorned with a yellowish cast, which distinguishes it from other redbuds. The Rising Sun Redbud is heat and drought-tolerant, making it an elegant addition to any space, including small gardens. It grows up to 8-12 feet tall and wide and thrives in full sun to part shade with well-drained soils. Attracting birds, butterflies, and bees, this Redbud is generally pest-free but should be planted when young and left undisturbed. It requires very little pruning and propagates well through semi-hardwood cuttings.
