Eastern Redbud
Cercis canadensis ‘Seirb’ Zig Zag™
No, you’re not seeing things- this geometric zig-zag pattern is all natural! The parent plant was actually found growing wild on the edge of a field in Virginia. Edible fuchsia-colored flowers are borne directly on the bark in early spring before the heart-shaped leaves emerge. Attractive orange foliage in the fall reveals the symmetric, honey-comb structure in the winter, making this a great choice for four-season garden interest. Great for understory plantings or as a specimen. This small tree really brings home the wow factor and is the perfect architectural accent for any garden or landscape.
