Royal White eastern redbud
Cercis canadensis ‘Royal White’
Cercis canadensis 'Royal White' is a stunning, award-winning deciduous tree prized for its spectacular early spring display of pure white, sweet pea-like flowers that cloak its bare branches before the leaves emerge. This superior white-flowered selection is more compact and floriferous than other white redbuds, producing larger blooms in greater abundance. Its broad, soft, heart-shaped leaves emerge in a soft, dusky blue-green to pale green, turning a clear yellow in autumn. With its graceful, low-branching habit and rounded, spreading crown, it is an outstanding choice as a specimen tree, in mixed borders, woodland gardens, or as a beautiful, elegant accent in smaller landscapes.
