Notes
'Tennessee Pink' Texas redbud (Cercis canadensis 'Tennessee Pink') is a tree for borders, specimen planting, woodland gardens, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. The multi-stemmed form grows 15 to 20 feet tall and wide at a moderate pace. Pink flowers open in spring, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit them. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Oakleaf hydrangea, Amsonia, and Autumn fern.
