Cercis Canadensis ‘Pink Pom Poms’ Eastern Redbud
The Eastern Redbud 'Pink Pom Poms' (Cercis canadensis ‘Pink Pom Poms’) is a stunning deciduous ornamental small tree or garden shrub, prized for its unique double-flowered blooms and vibrant seasonal display. A hybrid of the USA Native Eastern Redbud, this small ornamental tree stands out with its abundant, rosy-pink, pom-pom-like blossoms that appear in early spring usually before the foliage emerges. Its compact size, coupled with striking floral and foliage characteristics, makes it a perfect addition to gardens and landscapes where year-round interest is desired.
'Pink Pom Poms' boasts a rounded, vase-shaped canopy with multiple trunks or a single central leader, depending on how it's pruned. The standout feature of this cultivar is its dense clusters of double pink flowers, resembling small pom-poms, which cover the bare branches in early spring. These long-lasting blooms create a breathtaking floral display, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. After flowering, heart-shaped, deep green leaves emerge, providing a lush backdrop throughout the growing season. In autumn, the foliage transitions to shades of yellow, adding another layer of seasonal beauty with stunning autumn colour. Unlike other redbud varieties, 'Pink Pom Poms' is sterile, meaning it does not produce seed pods, allowing the focus to remain on its ornamental features.
