Product Details

Merlot Redbud

Cercis canadensis 'Merlot'

Merlot Redbud stands out with its rich, wine-colored leaves that bring a dramatic splash of color throughout the growing season. In early spring, clusters of bright rosy-pink flowers bloom before the leaves emerge, creating a beautiful contrast against the dark foliage. This deciduous tree grows 15 feet tall and wide, forming a rounded canopy that works beautifully as a specimen or accent tree in beds, borders, and landscapes. Its moderate growth rate and bold coloring make it a favorite for those wanting a pop of deep, elegant color that lasts all season.

  • Deciduous tree
  • Moderate growth rate
  • Deep burgundy foliage that holds color throughout summer
  • Rosy-pink spring blooms
