About this plant

The 'Ace of Hearts' Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis 'Ace of Hearts') is a magnificent dwarf cultivar, celebrated for its unique growth habit and exceptional aesthetic appeal. This tree forms a dense, rounded crown with rich green, deeply crinkled, heart-shaped leaves that remain attractive throughout the growing season.

Care & maintenance
