This small flowering tree brings a graceful, vase-shaped silhouette to the landscape and works beautifully as a specimen tree, in mixed borders, or in small garden spaces where a full-size redbud would be too large.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the bloom period, heart-shaped green leaves emerge and provide season-long texture, turning soft yellow tones in autumn. Chinese Redbud is a rewarding choice for gardeners who want a flowering ornamental tree with multi-season interest and a naturally compact habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces abundant pink, pea-like blossoms in early spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, vase-shaped growth habit suited to smaller landscapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeart-shaped foliage offers texture through the growing season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttractive yellow fall color adds late-season interest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks well as a specimen, border, or patio tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cercis chinensis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deciduous flowering tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, moderately fertile soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep evenly moist while establishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, upright, vase-shaped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow room for the mature canopy spread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChinese Redbud seeds benefit from scarification and a period of cold stratification before sowing to help break seed dormancy. Nick or lightly sand the seed coat, then stratify in a moist medium under refrigeration for several weeks. Sow in a well-drained seed-starting mix, cover lightly, and keep consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination can be slow and uneven, so be patient and maintain steady moisture and warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into individual pots and grow on before planting out. Choose a sunny to partly shaded site with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish, then reduce to moderate watering once the tree is settled. A light mulch around the base helps conserve moisture and suppress weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes 10 Chinese Redbud (Cercis chinensis) seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67727561883958,"sku":"BOTAN4-434","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7721166688_5p3h.jpg?v=1791980915","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/chinese-redbud-seeds-10-pack-cercis-chinensis-pink-flowering-ornamental-tree","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
