Flame Thrower Redbud 1 Live Tree – Cercis canadensis ‘Flame Thrower’ – 2 Gallon Pot – 36″

Flame Thrower® Redbud (Cercis canadensis ‘Flame Thrower’) is a deciduous ornamental flowering tree known for its vibrant, multicolored foliage and attractive spring blossoms. In early spring, clusters of rosy-pink, pea-like flowers appear along the branches before or as the leaves emerge, providing seasonal color and early interest in ornamental landscapes.

The most distinctive feature of Flame Thrower® Redbud is its changing foliage. New heart-shaped leaves emerge in rich burgundy-red tones before transitioning through shades of orange, golden yellow, yellow-green, and green. Because leaves develop at different times, several colors may appear on the same tree simultaneously, creating a striking display throughout the growing season.

Supplied as one live Flame Thrower® Redbud tree in a 2 gallon nursery pot, this specimen measures approximately 36 inches tall at the time of shipping. It generally grows well in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil with moderate moisture. Its colorful foliage and ornamental branching habit make it suitable for specimen plantings, mixed landscape borders, and residential gardens.
