Ruby Falls Redbud (Cercis canadensis ‘Ruby Falls’) is a compact, weeping, deciduous tree known for its striking purple-red foliage and vibrant pink flowers. It’s a cultivar derived from a cross between ‘Covey’ (weeping) and ‘Forest Pansy’ (purple-leaved). It features a weeping habit, heart-shaped leaves that emerge maroon-red, then transition to burgundy and eventually green. The tree produces profuse, pea-like, dark rose flowers in spring before the foliage emerges. It’s relatively low-maintenance, prefers well-drained soil, and thrives in full sun to partial shade.
