Redbud (Cercis)
Family: Fabaceae
Redbuds are popular ornamental trees, providing color to the landscape in early springtime. They are easy to grow and adaptable to a range of growing conditions. Cercis canadensis is popular, and several notable cultivars of this species have been selected. A handful of other species in the genus are also used in landscaping, but some are less cold-hardy than C. canadensis.
