Decidedly, the most favorable attribute of the Eastern redbud is its bloom period. Strings of bursting purple blossoms covering bare trunks and branches is a beautiful sight — albeit brief. The foliage that follows is nice, but nondescript and well, a little boring. So, although the native redbud can make for a great addition to our home gardens, it isn’t as versatile as some of its newer, more unique cousins. What many newer redbud cultivars offer is diversity in foliage and varying leaf color.

Topping the list is ‘The Rising Sun,’ ‘Ruby Falls’ and ‘Hearts of Gold.’
