Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An exceptionally attractive, relatively new introduction from TN. With so many new redbuds coming into the trade, we have to wonder when they will start to look like re-runs, but this is clearly a fine variety. Smaller in stature 12-15 ft. at maturity than the species, its foliage is set on its branches with Vegas dealer-like precision. This one will catch your own heart.
A superb focal point for border or small yard, this dome-shaped Redbud is compact (to 12'x 15'), covered with light purple flowers in early sprg ; small heart-shaped foliage; drought tolerant. Sun/GdDrain USPP17161
The first compact form and it is outstanding! Will grow to 9' x 12' with lots of lavender flowers and small heart shaped leaves.
