Why Hearts of Gold Redbud Trees?
Beloved for its golden foliage, the Hearts of Gold Redbud is a must-have in any garden. This deciduous flowering tree features a dense, dome-shaped canopy of heart-shaped leaves that will add character to any garden. It makes a perfect specimen plant, or an ideal option for your hedges and borders.
In early spring, your Hearts of Gold will be covered with stunning purple-pink flowers, providing the first pop of color after winter. Bright flowers give way to the Hearts of Gold's signature foliage, which emerges red-gold and transitions to a gorgeous golden-green as summer turns to fall.
Your Hearts of Gold will flower best in full sun, but it has no issues with disease or pests, and it’s deer-resistant, making it a perfect low-maintenance tree for your garden. An added bonus? Its spring blooms will attract butterflies, hummingbirds and more to your garden!

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Select an area with well-drained soil and full sun to partial sun (4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight with some afternoon shade).
Dig a hole twice as wide as the diameter and as deep as your tree’s root ball. Place your tree, backfill the soil, and water to settle the tree’s roots. Finally, spread 3 to 4 inches of mulch over the planting site to conserve moisture.
2. Watering: During the first year, water your tree about once or twice weekly. If you’re not sure when to water, check the surrounding soil to about 3 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it’s time to water your tree.
After the first year, your Redbud can thrive on rainfall alone, but we recommend that you continue to check the soil. Soil should remain moist about 3 inches down.
3. Fertilizing: In early spring, apply compost or a complete fertilizer, such as 5-10-5. Spread evenly around the root zone of the plant according to the label instructions.
4. Pruning: Prune the tree in early summer after the tree is done blooming. Begin by removing any larger lower branches and branches that cross over each other or rub together.
Cut off the branches close to the trunk without leaving any stubs. If several branches need to be removed, remove gradually over a few months. In late winter, prune any dead or damaged wood and remove any shoots that are growing from the bottom of the trunk.
