Eastern redbud plant named 'Hearts of Gold'

Abstract

‘Hearts of Gold’ is a distinctive variety of Sercis canadensis, which is characterized by its distinct bright golden foliage compared to other cultivars of Sercis canadensis. In addition, one-year-old whips of ‘Hearts of Gold’ produce flower buds, whereas other cultivars of Sercis canadensis generally only produce flowers on older plants. Further, first-year budded ‘Hearts of Gold’ trees appear to be more vigorous and uniform in growth than similar-aged trees of other well-known cultivars.
