HEARTS DESIRE™ REDBUD -
15 Feet Tall 15 Feet Wide--
Cercis canadensis Heart's Desire™ (Cercis canadensis 'UMN7101') is a standout cultivar of the Eastern Redbud, distinguished by its exceptional cold hardiness and vibrant floral display. Developed by the University of Minnesota, Heart's Desire™ is capable of withstanding the harsh winters of USDA Zone 4, making it a reliable choice for northern gardeners where other redbuds might struggle. In early spring, before its foliage emerges, it is smothered in a profusion of lavender-pink, pea-like flowers that cling tightly to the dark bark of its branches. Following the bloom, it develops a dense canopy of classic heart-shaped leaves that transition from a rich medium green in summer to a bright, cheerful yellow in the autumn. It typically maintains a compact, rounded form, reaching a mature height of 15 feet with an equal spread.
Heart's Desire™ thrives in full sun to partial shade, though a bit of afternoon shade is beneficial in hotter southern climates. It is highly adaptable to various soil types, including clay, provided the site is well-drained; redbuds are particularly sensitive to "wet feet" and may decline quickly in standing water. Once established, Heart's Desire™ can be moderately drought-tolerant but performs best with regular deep watering during prolonged dry spells.
