FLAME THROWER® REDBUD -
15 Feet Tall 15 Feet Wide--
Flame Thrower® Redbud (Cercis canadensis Flame Thrower®) is a true showstopper that brings a dramatic, multi-colored light show to the landscape. Unlike traditional redbuds that settle for a single leaf color, this cultivar is celebrated for its stunning multichromatic foliage. As new growth emerges, the heart-shaped leaves transition through a vivid spectrum of burgundy, apricot, and bright gold, often appearing all at once on a single branch. This fiery display begins after the signature clusters of tiny, pea-like pink flowers have bloomed in early spring, ensuring it remains a focal point well into the autumn months.
To keep your Flame Thrower® thriving, it is best planted in full sun to partial shade, though a bit of afternoon shade is beneficial in hotter climates to prevent the delicate foliage from scorching. It prefers well-drained, moist soil and, once established, is remarkably low-maintenance. Because it grows to a manageable height of about 15 feet with an equal spread, it makes an ideal specimen tree for smaller urban gardens or as a vibrant accent in a mixed border. Regular watering during the first few growing seasons is key to developing a deep, resilient root system that will support its spectacular seasonal transitions.
