Redbud - Oklahoma

Cercis canadensis var. texensis 'Oklahoma'

A showstopper in early spring — vibrant magenta-purple flowers cover every bare branch before the leaves even appear. Once blooms fade, glossy, heart-shaped leaves take over for a beautiful summer show. Compact, drought-tough, and easy to fit into smaller yards, this native cultivar earns its "must-have" reputation.
