Cercis canadensis 'Hearts of Gold' (Redbud)
First known gold-foliaged cercis for the U.S. market. New leaves emerge red then turn to gold. Where leaves are shaded by others they will turn to green. Provides a riot of color in early spring as they flower even before foliage emerges. In summer, the gold foliage is burn-resistant even in full sun. U.S. native, this gold redbud is as vigorous as green varieties and will grow to 10' in the first 5 years.
