Cercis canadensis 'JN16' ~ Black Pearl™ Redbud
Black Pearl Redbud is a new cultivar of a popular native deciduous tree with multiple trunks and a rounded crown. The unique heart-shaped leaves emerge with a heavy gloss and are nearly black purple with red undersides and becomes brilliant yellow in the fall. The heavy profusion of lavender flowers blooms on bare branches in early spring before the foliage comes in attracting butterflies. Prefers partial sun and rich well-drained soils with consistent moisture. Tolerates deer and Black Walnuts.
Cercis canadensis is an important host for the Henry's Elfin Butterfly and supports a specialized bee- the Southeast Blueberry Bee. Its nectar is an early food source for several butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. The seedpods are enjoyed by birds and wildlife.
