Cercis canadensis ‘Hearts of Gold’ – Golden-Leaf Redbud Tree
Cercis canadensis ‘Hearts of Gold’ is a unique Redbud cultivar grown for its brilliant golden-yellow heart-shaped leaves that emerge after the striking pink pea-like flowers in spring. The foliage matures to a warm chartreuse through summer, adding a bright splash of colour even in shaded spots. This small ornamental tree has a rounded, compact habit, making it perfect for smaller gardens, borders, or as a specimen feature.
