Rise 'N Shine Redbud Tree

The Rise 'N Shine also known as the Rising Sun Redbud is a breathtaking ornamental tree that lights up the landscape with early spring blooms and brilliant, ever-changing foliage. In early spring, its branches are covered in vibrant lavender-pink flowers before the leaves emerge, creating a striking display.

As the season continues, heart shaped leaves unfold in shades of gold, orange, and apricot, eventually maturing to soft green - all on deep burgundy stems. Compact and elegant, it's perfect for small yards, entryways, or as a colorful focal point in garden beds.

The Rise 'N Shine Redbud is fragrant. It produces soft pink-lavender blooms in early spring that have a light, sweet scent. It's not overpowering, but it's noticeable up close, especially when the tree is covered in blooms. Like other Eastern Redbuds the flowers are edible and often used as: salad toppers (for color & a mild tangy taste), garnishes on cakes. They are tart and have a hint of green, citrusy flavor.
