Notes
'Hearts A'fire' Texas redbud (Cercis canadensis 'Hearts A'fire') is a tree for spring color, small gardens, and wildlife plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Dark pink flowers open on bare branches in early to late spring and attract bees. Heart-shaped leaves emerge red and orange, then age to green. Seed pods feed several species of songbird.
Pairs well with Autumn fern, Spiderwort, and Cotoneaster.
