The Flame Thrower redbud isn’t your average redbud. This cultivar brings a dramatic flair to your landscape with its ever-changing foliage. Unlike other redbuds with primarily green leaves, the Flame Thrower puts on a spectacular color show throughout the season. New growth bursts forth in a fiery display of burgundy-red leaves. As the leaves mature, they transition through a mesmerizing sequence of colors, morphing into warm yellows and vibrant greens. This remarkable characteristic creates a mesmerizing effect, with a single branch showcasing a breathtaking blend of burgundy, yellow, and green all at once. Early spring adds another layer of beauty with clusters of vibrant purple flowers adorning the branches before the leaves unfurl. This low-maintenance tree thrives in full sun to light shade and adapts well to various soil types. Its compact size (reaching 15-20 feet tall and wide) makes it ideal for smaller gardens, while its multiple seasons of interest ensure year-round enjoyment.
