Luscious Lavender Redbud is a native deciduous tree with a rounded crown and a beautiful display of purple maroon flowers that bloom on the bare branches in early spring

Dense clusters of bright pink to coral semi-double roses with a peachy overglow and darker centers fade with age and bloom continually from mid-spring until the first frost

which can completely envelop the branches and create a breathtaking spectacle

Small bright scarlet flowers with yellow stamen bloom heavily in early spring before the foliage comes in attracting butterflies
