Cercis canadensis ‘Ruby Falls’

Cercis canadensis ‘Ruby Falls’ (Weeping Redbud) is a dramatic ornamental tree prized for its cascading habit and deep burgundy-purple foliage. In early spring, vibrant rosy-pink flowers emerge along the bare branches before the foliage appears, creating a stunning display. As the season progresses, its rich purple leaves maintain bold color, adding contrast and elegance to the landscape.

With a moderate growth rate of 12-16 inches per year, ‘Ruby Falls’ performs best in USDA Zones 5–9. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Growing to a compact size, typically 6–8 feet tall with a similar spread, this weeping redbud is ideal for small gardens, specimen plantings, and focal points in residential and commercial landscapes.
