Lavender Twist® Redbud
(Cercis canadensis ‘Covey’)

Add unique form and enchanting spring beauty to your garden with the Lavender Twist® Redbud. This weeping variety of Eastern Redbud is known for its graceful, cascading branches and vivid lavender-pink flowers that blanket the bare stems in early spring before the heart-shaped leaves emerge. With its compact size and striking silhouette, Lavender Twist® is a stunning focal point in small gardens, courtyards, or mixed borders.

Key Features:

  • Weeping Form: Elegant, cascading branches create a dramatic architectural statement.

  • Vibrant Spring Blooms: Covered in vivid lavender-pink flowers before the foliage appears.

  • Attractive Foliage: Heart-shaped green leaves provide lush summer interest, turning yellow in fall.

  • Compact Size: Grows 5–6 feet tall and 6–8 feet wide, ideal for smaller landscapes or tight spaces.

  • Four-Season Appeal: Offers ornamental interest through flowers, foliage, and distinctive winter structure.

  • Pollinator-Friendly: Attracts bees and early-season pollinators with its nectar-rich blooms.

  • Native Beauty: A cultivated form of the native Eastern Redbud, well-suited to North American gardens.

Care Tips:

  • Plant in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade for best flowering.

  • Water regularly during establishment; drought-tolerant once mature.

  • Prune only as needed after blooming to shape or remove damaged limbs.

  • Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and protect roots.

Whether anchoring a garden bed, enhancing an entryway, or standing alone as a showstopper, the Lavender Twist® Redbud brings graceful movement and unforgettable spring color to your landscape. Its weeping habit and early blooms make it a true garden gem.
