Plant of the Week - Ruby Falls Weeping Redbud

There are quite a few new selections of redbuds available today. But one of my favorites is a true standout and focal point for any garden. It is Cercis c. ‘Ruby Falls’ or ‘Ruby Falls Weeping Redbud’ and she is one good looker! Compact redbud with a weeping canopy that’s the perfect specimen for the smaller garden or landscape. Lavender red blooms in spring, with semi glossy heart shaped deep maroon leaves that turn almost green by fall and then yellow for late fall colors. What a show she can out on in just about any garden! Grows 6-8’ tall by 4-5 feet wide – but can be maintained at about any size or shape, high and wide.
