Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

Showy and colorful sunrise-hued foliage, the Rise & Shine™ Redbud (Cercis canadensis 'JN15') is a new take on the traditional Redbud tree! Mid-sized and easy-care for, these are colorful additions to your yard! Lavender blossoms and color-changing foliage are a bonus that gives this tree 3 seasons of interest and beauty for your home!
The early spring burst of unique pea-like blossoms forms right on the stems of your tree as a breath of fresh air after a long winter. Soon the heart-shaped leaves start as brilliant golden yellow, fading to bright green for the summer. By fall the leaves change again to their autumn wardrobe with the added decoration of seed pods that dangle and wave in the wind.
Rise & Shine™ goes a bit further with its devils-backbone branching and lovely winter branching. Very cold hardy and adaptable, Redbud trees are wonderful native understory trees that feed birds and attract pollinators and this cultivar is no different!
Planting and Application:
Rise & Shine™ Redbud looks great as a front yard landscaping specimen with color that bumps up the curb appeal of your home! The graceful form and moderate size make these specimens easy to create shade over your garden beds, anchor foundation plantings, or arch over a pathway, seating area, or driveway!
Redbud trees are equally beautiful in the backyard where they look lovely shading your garden beds or with a chair beneath the welcoming shade and waving heart-shaped leaves. Watch early pollinators flit around the blooms or birds eating the seeds in autumn while the leaves change color throughout the year!

- Great Branching & 4-Season Interest
- Mid-Sized & Easy Care
- Bird-Friendly & Pollinators Galore
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Redbuds are versatile and easy to care for flowering trees! Prune as small or narrow as needed to accommodate your property and area but these trees really shine when allowed to grow naturally. Provide a moderately moist and very well-enriched site with ample mulch over the roots to keep them cool, hold soil moisture, and insulate the roots.
- Full Sun in Cooler Zones, Part Sun in Hotter Climates
- Well-Mulched & Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Fertility & Consistent Moisture
- Prune After Flowering
Rise & Shine™ Redbud will give you year-round beauty and interest without sacrificing space! Glorious color and beautiful early spring blooms can be yours by dropping this unique specimen into your cart today at NatureHills.com!
