Flame Thrower® Redbud - Cercis canadensis Flame Thrower® (Pink/Purple)

The Flame Thrower® Redbud is a striking cultivar of Eastern redbud that delivers exceptional ornamental value to any landscape. This deciduous tree produces vibrant magenta-pink flowers that emerge in early spring, creating a dramatic display before the heart-shaped foliage unfolds. Known for its upright, columnar growth habit, it reaches 20-25 feet tall and 8-10 feet wide, making it ideal for narrow spaces or as a focal point in garden design. The Flame Thrower® variety offers superior vigor and disease resistance compared to standard redbuds, thriving in full sun to partial shade across USDA zones 4-9. Its compact form and extended blooming period make it an excellent choice for specimen planting, screening, or mixed borders.
