Why it rocks:
Ruby Falls Redbud is a charming addition to the Eastern Redbud family. This tree showcases the best traits of its popular parents, Lavender Twist® Redbud and Forest Pansy Redbud. Ruby Falls stands out with its stunning, deep wine-red leaves and its lovely, round, weeping canopy. In early spring, the branches are adorned with small, fuchsia flower buds that bloom into light pink flowers kissed with rosy purple hues. These flowers attract hummingbirds, songbirds, butterflies, and other small pollinators, enhancing the charm and whimsy of your home's landscape.
After flowering, the weeping branches become covered in large, heart-shaped, velvety, deep burgundy leaves that change to a bronzy-green in late summer. As autumn arrives, the tree's canopy shifts to a beautiful palette of yellow-gold and orangey-bronze colors, amplifying its beauty through the changing seasons. Ruby Falls Redbud adds a vibrant splash of color and a unique design element to your yard or garden. Wherever it is planted, it provides a sense of soothing serenity, allowing you to enjoy the enchanting life it brings to your landscape.
Where to put it:

It can serve as an elegant design feature, adding rich seasonal color and architectural interest with its cascading weeping branches that draw the eye and create a sense of calm in your outdoor oasis. Ruby Falls Redbud can be planted as an accent, for privacy and screening, and it is safe to plant near foundations, pools, patios, and in small, odd-numbered groupings.
