Whitewater Weeping Redbud

No matter how small your yard may be, you'll want to put the gorgeous—and tiny—Whitewater Weeping Redbud (Cercis canadensis 'Whitewater') on full display. From its unique, downturned, weeping branches to the deep hues of the spring flowers, Whitewater is a knockout.

Butterflies and beneficial pollinators also really appreciate the early nectar of the pea-shaped flowers.

Like all Redbud, Whitewater is cauliflory, which means that the purple-pink spring flowers emerge on bare branches, including the trunk.

These small trees are outlined in floral frosting for weeks on end! Whitewater Redbud is a nice way to put tired Old Man Winter to bed for the season.

But the form and the flowers aren't the only ornamental features. After the electrifying spring flowers are past, new leaves slowly come on for a thrilling display.

The heart-shaped leaves look like someone spilled a can of pure white paint on them! This variegated foliage makes a big impact all summer long.

Watch as the leaves slowly transition. They emerge almost white...perhaps spotted here and there with green. As the summer progresses, the leaves mature into green spotted with white.

You will never get tired of this amazing tiny tree!

In fact, we'd call Whitewater Redbud a "must-have" small accent tree. The white-splashed leaves literally spotlight a corner of your landscape. It's small enough to fit just about anywhere!

Use them front and center, or create a special moment of transition near entryways, corners or turns. Whitewater grows well in either full sun or partial shade, and is so versatile.

Give Whitewater as a special gift, or plant them for yourself just because it's Wednesday. You absolutely deserve these lovely trees.

The only thing we'll ask is that you hurry to place your order. As you might imagine, people from across the United States want one, two or more in their yards. They love the cool-toned variegation with a broadly weeping habit as much as you do!

#ProPlantTips for Care

Redbud trees require well-drained soil that is kept evenly moist. We highly recommend that you include a pack of Root Booster with your order. It helps your tree over its whole lifetime in order to gain better access to water and micronutrients.

Whitewater can be planted in full sun, but they appreciate afternoon shade in the warmest summer climates. They'll need at least four hours of direct sunlight to flower their best.

Consistent watering is the key to success with Whitewater Weeping Redbud. You'll want to spread a three-inch layer of mulch on top of the root zone, as well. Pull it 6 inches away from the trunk for proper air circulation.

Be patient with your young Redbud trees, as they are often slow to leaf out in spring. These white-splashed leaves are worth the wait!
