Bubble Gum Redbud

Getting its name from the “bubble gum pink” flowers appearing from distinctive red buds, the Bubble Gum Redbud is a striking and hardy spring bloomer. It has grayish-green foliage, which changes light green in the spring. A relatively low maintenance tree, it is a top choice to plant as an accent or in larger quantities on a landscape. It should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season’s flowers.
