Sparkling Wine™ Redbud Tree For Sale
Shimmer and shine in your garden with the Sparkling Wine™ Redbud (Cercis canadensis 'JN21'), a modern cultivar of the native Eastern Redbud tree. This compact ornamental tree bursts with brilliant rose-pink pea-shaped flowers on bare branches in early spring, followed by glossy, heart-shaped foliage that stays attractive all season. It’s an upright, disease-resistant small tree with four-season interest that fits beautifully into today’s landscapes.
Each spring, branches and trunks are cloaked in rich rose-pink blooms that delight pollinators. As flowers fade, new leaves emerge dark burgundy-purple, maturing to glossy green with purple veining for an elegant, layered look. Thick, leathery leaves shimmer in sunlight, creating a twinkling canopy effect that sparkles in any setting. Upright branches provide small-scale shade, making Sparkling Wine™ an excellent choice for courtyards, patios, and entryways.
With deep cultural ties as a relative of the Eastern Redbud, long valued for spring symbolism and pollinator support, Sparkling Wine™ offers a stylish update on a beloved native. This versatile small tree or large shrub belongs to the pea family and offers improved foliage gloss, mildew resistance, and incredible ornamental value year-round.
