Sunlight requirements
Thrives in full sun to partial shade, providing at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal blooming. Preferably morning sun and afternoon shade. Suited for hardiness zones 4-9, depending on the variety.
Watering requirements
Redbuds require regular watering during their first growing season to help establish strong roots. Once established, they are relatively drought-tolerant, so water them deeply but infrequently, allowing the top 2 to 3 inches of soil to dry between waterings.
Fun Fact
Redbud trees are one of the first trees to bloom in spring, displaying vibrant pink or purple flowers before their leaves emerge, creating a stunning visual display!
