Cercis occidentalis, or Western Redbud, is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to the West. It is prized for its vibrant magenta spring blossoms that appear before the foliage. The heart-shaped leaves emerge bright green, transitioning to a blue-green in summer and turning gold or red in the fall. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. Its multi-trunked habit and picturesque form make it a perfect specimen for native landscapes.
