Cercis c. Luscious Lavender™ #7

With flowers the color of a purple neon sign, Luscious Lavender™ redbud will certainly help you and your garden wake up in spring. Its pea-like blooms grow right along each branch and arrive so densely that you’ll see the exact branching of its wide, rounded habit. This type of flower display brings a unique, architectural feeling to the garden in spring. Later in the summer, the view shifts to a verdant lushness when its shiny, heart-shaped leaves fill in. The leaves themselves are wide and thick, and remain free of blemishes thanks to excellent disease resistance. Plant in full sun to part shade. Grows up to 25' tall and 30' wide. Hardy to Zone 5.

This variety is reported to have 30% more flowers than a typical redbud.
