Buy Hearts of Gold Redbud online. It hardly needs a description, as its big, beautiful golden heart-shaped leaves can sell themselves. We could point out that the lavender red flowers in the spring are effective as they are plentiful in each cluster and that the growing tips in the spring take on an orange/red tone which makes a nice contrast to the older, chartreuse-colored leaves. It is also noteworthy that although this plant is predominately yellow in leaf it is not at all lacking in vigor! One’s imagination can run wild with the landscape possibilities of this great plant.
Family: Fabaceae

Common Name: Redbud
Redbud is a fascinating genus of small trees with several species and many varieties and cultivars. Native to the eastern and southern US, Redbuds are scattered throughout the countryside’s and are one of the first trees to flower in early spring, along with Dogwoods. Redbuds require well draining soil even to the point of being rocky. If planted in wet or poorly draining soils the trees will decline in health rather quickly. Best planted high and dry!
