The Avondale Redbud is one of the most spectacular spring flowering shrubs there is. In March or April its bare branches glow with purple buds that burst into deep pink blooms. The dark-green rounded leaves are charming all summer, and they turn golden yellow in fall. The dark-gray twisted branches create a beautiful winter profile on a shrub or small tree that makes a great specimen on a lawn or bank, or among other flowering shrubs anywhere in your garden.
Grow the Avondale Redbud in full sun for the best results. It grows and blooms best in warmer zones, especially if you have long, hot summers. It thrives in any well-drained soil, including poor and rocky ground, and it is drought resistant once established. Easy to grow and free of pests or diseases, this beautiful plant can be grown as a rounded shrub or pruned up into a multi-stem small tree.
