New Redbud Ruby Falls

The gorgeous Cascading Redbud 'Ruby Falls'.
We challenge you to describe it!
The NEW cascading Redbud 'Ruby Falls' exhibits an excellent branching structure. The weeping tree reaches a moderate height of 4 to 6 feet and a spread 6 to 8 feet. Ruby Falls blooms profusely in early spring with clusters of tiny hot pink rose-purple, pea-like flowers before the foliage emerges. Flowers are attractive to hummingbirds (and other birds as well), butterflies and bees.



The rich, purple, heart-shaped leaves open bright ruby-purple in spring, then gradually mature to deep purple, and ultimately change to a burgundy green in the warmest climates as the season progresses. The weeping branches on the 'Ruby Falls' gives it a very different color effect than the 'Forest Pansy' redbud. The overlapping leaves weeping down the tree give it a three-tone effect - reddish purple the new leaves, purple the older leaves, and finally the burgundy-green color on the innermost leaves.An absolutely stunning tree that will spotlight your garden. Fall color on this deciduous ornamental is yellow until leaf drop in early winter.
If elegance is part of the look you are trying to achieve in your garden, then 'Ruby Falls' is a must. Rarely are plants as well suited to be a specimen or garden feature plant as well as the elegance and small stature of 'Ruby Falls'.
The cultivar benefits from an exposure of partial sun to shade and is easily grown in a range of well-drained soil types. Careful not to overwater as it does not like wet feet.
Try it in a border and add that special something! You'll be the envy of your neighbors.
NOTE: The 'Ruby Falls'  is in high demand and and has limited availability. It sells out quickly. Please put in your order as soon as possible to avoid the disappointment of being sold out.
