Description:
Garden Gems Amethyst Redbud brings a new focal point to the garden with its compact size and burgundy to dark purple foliage. Lavender pink blooms in spring add an extra season of interest. This compact redbud is a nativar considered to be an alternative to the Japanese Maple. If one plants this redbud in a container, ensure it is in a protected winter location as the container does not insulate the roots the same as the ground.
