Redbud 'Hearts Of Gold'

This is the first known, gold-foliaged Cercis for the U.S. Market. New leaves emerge red then turn to gold. Where leaves are shaded by others they will turn to green. 'Hearts of Gold' offers a perfect way to brighten the grayest day and provides a riot of color in early spring as they flower even before foliage emerges. Its tiny, lavender-purple redbud blooms are early harbingers of spring in the landscape. In summer, the gold foliage is burn-resistant even in full sun. A U.S. native, this gold redbud is as vigorous as green varieties and will grow to 10' in the first 5 years. At maturity it will reach 15' tall by 18' wide, making it perfect for Hedges and Screenss or as a planting.
