'NCCC1' Texas redbud (Cercis canadensis 'NCCC1') is a tree for specimen planting, borders, woodlands, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms in early to late spring and attracts butterflies and bees. Its multi-stemmed form grows at a moderate pace.

Pairs well with Witch hazel, Wild ginger, Cinnamon fern, and Switchgrass.
