Pink Heartbreaker Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis 'Pink Heartbreaker')

Pink Heartbreaker Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis 'Pink Heartbreaker') is a vigorous, cold-hardy weeping redbud known for its stunning pink blooms and elegant cascading habit. This improved selection offers stronger branching and better winter resilience than many other weeping types, while maintaining the romantic, architectural appeal redbuds are known for.

Distinctive Features

'Pink Heartbreaker' begins spring with a dramatic display of bright pink, pea-like flowers that cover its bare branches in early to mid-spring. Once the flowers fade, heart-shaped green foliage emerges, providing soft texture and full coverage throughout summer. Unlike older weeping varieties, it features a more vigorous growth habit and stronger branch structure, making it better suited to colder climates. Mature specimens reach 8 to 10 feet tall and 8 to 12 feet wide with proper staking and training.

Growing Conditions

  • Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soil; tolerant of various soil types once established

Low Maintenance Care

  • Fertilizing: Apply a slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth
  • Mulching: Maintain mulch at the base to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature
  • Protection: Site in a location with protection from harsh winter wind to preserve branch tips
