Eastern Redbud
Cercis canadensis ‘JN16’ Black Pearl™
Add some drama to your garden with the moody hues of Black Pearl Redbud. Like its parent plant, this Eastern Redbud blooms with lovely pinkish blossoms in mid-spring all along its branches and trunk. As the flowers fade, large heart-shaped leaves emerge in striking shades of maroon and purple and darken to near black. No need to recruit Captain Jack Sparrow – this magnificent selection is treasure enough!
