The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

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!

#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
