Chinese Redbud Tree (Cercis Chinensis) Seeds - NEW FOR FALL 2024

The Chinese Redbud (Cercis chinensis) is a stunning deciduous tree known for its abundant spring blooms and compact, ornamental form. In early spring, before the leaves emerge, the tree is covered in clusters of small, vivid pink to purple, pea-like flowers that blanket its branches and even its trunk, creating a dramatic and vibrant display. The flowers are followed by heart-shaped, glossy green leaves that remain lush throughout the growing season. As autumn approaches, the foliage turns golden yellow, offering a beautiful seasonal transition before the leaves drop. The Chinese Redbud is slightly smaller than its North American counterparts, typically growing to a height of 10 to 15 feet, with a rounded, spreading form, making it ideal for smaller gardens or as an accent in larger landscapes.

Thriving in well-drained soil, the Chinese Redbud prefers full sun to partial shade and is relatively low-maintenance, making it a versatile choice for a variety of garden settings. It is highly drought-tolerant once established, adding to its appeal in drier climates. They make good bonsai specimens. Each pack comes with basic instructions for germination.

I’m a USA seller which means faster shipping times as well as higher quality seeds. A vast majority of my seeds either come from my garden, from my neighborhood or in the local area. If not, I’ve acquired them on trips around the country. I’ve tested and grown many of these myself.

I’m always here for assistance with germination and growing. Your success is my success!
