Plant description
A striking ornamental tree or large shrub, this American redbud produces clusters of vivid pink-red flowers directly on its bare branches in early spring, creating a dramatic display before the foliage emerges. The new leaves unfurl in shades of deep burgundy and scarlet, shifting through fiery tones of orange, gold, and peach as the season progresses, before maturing to rich green.
Its heart-shaped foliage provides colour and interest over many months, ensuring it remains eye-catching well beyond the flowering period. Naturally small and well-branched, Cercis canadensis Hearts A' Fire is ideal for compact gardens, courtyards, or as a standout specimen in mixed planting schemes. With its long-lasting seasonal display and manageable size, it brings bold impact without overwhelming the space.

How to care for Cercis canadensis Hearts A' Fire ('JN100') (PBR):
When planting, add some soil conditioner (well-rotted compost) to the planting hole and some mycorrhizal fungi to aid root establishment.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the collar of the tree is above ground level.
Support taller specimens either with a bamboo cane and or stake during establishment. Water generously around the base of the plant.
