Description

Chinese Redbud Tree Seeds (Cercis chinensis) produce a beautiful ornamental tree or large shrub prized for its abundant pink to rosy-purple flowers that appear in early spring before the leaves emerge. Native to China, this species is highly valued for its compact growth habit, attractive heart-shaped foliage, and exceptional ornamental appeal.

In spring, branches become covered with vibrant clusters of blossoms that attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The lush green foliage provides summer interest and often develops attractive yellow tones in autumn. Chinese Redbud is an excellent choice for gardens, landscapes, borders, and specimen plantings.

Seeds require a hot water treatment followed by 30 days of cold moist stratification to improve germination. Once established, Chinese Redbud trees are relatively low-maintenance and adaptable to a variety of well-drained soils.
