Chinese Redbud

Wow, what a beauty! Cercis chinensis Avondale, also known as the Chinese Redbud, thrives in a variety of soil types, including chalk, clay, loam, and sand, as long as the soil is moist but well-drained. It is best suited for sheltered locations and is not recommended for exposed areas.

In late spring, dark pink buds adorn the branches and stems, bursting into a magnificent floral display by May. This stunning tree is perfect for south—or west-facing gardens, where it can be showcased as a half standard to truly highlight its superb blossoms.

Cercis Chinensis 'Avondale' is truly a showstopper, making it a fantastic addition to any garden where you want to enjoy its breathtaking floral display.
