Another fantastic addition to the many spectacular redbud selections, this gilded redbud dazzles with ombre leaves that fade from striking gold to soft green along the length of each branch. As the southern variety of our familiar Eastern Redbud, this selection can take some heat and its foliage doesn’t fade in direct sunlight. Pink flowers in the spring round out the seasonal color profile of this small but captivating tree.
