MERLOT REDBUD

Cercis canadensis 'Merlot' is commonly referred to as Merlot Redbud. It is noteworthy for its excellent drought tolerance and heat resistance. It is a compact, deciduous, upright tree with bright reddish purple flowers that appear from late winter to early spring and attract birds, bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. Deep purple, heart-shaped leaves hold color until turning yellow in fall. It is more compact than 'Forest Pansy' and its smaller leaves assist in holding water thus reducing the rate of transpiration.

The Merlot Redbud thrives in full to part sun in average, well-drained soil.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and promote healthy growth.
