The story

Then purple hearts all summer.

Magenta flowers bloom straight off the bare branches in early spring, then heart-shaped leaves come in deep burgundy-purple. Small enough for a front yard, with a shape that looks good from the street.

Light

Full sun to part shade. Afternoon shade in hot zones keeps the leaves a deeper purple.

Water

Deep soak weekly for the first two summers, then during droughts.

Planting

Plant young in spring or fall; redbuds dislike being moved once settled. Well-drained soil, not soggy.

A small native tree with three seasons of color.
