Sparkling Wine Redbud

Sparkling Wine is a new addition to our redbud catalog and features a compact size (12 - 15 ft.) and glossy multihued purple, red and green leaves. In early spring bright purple/pink redbud blooms emerge in clusters that light up the landscape. From spring to fall heart shaped leaves emerge in a multitude of colors with the newest growth emerging red, transitioning to purple and then to green. This cascade of color and the small size of Sparkling Wine make it a great tree for foundation plantings or for occupying the center of garden beds. One of the things we really like this cultivar is how the leaves seem to change color in a gentle breeze. It was given the name Sparkling Wine due to the velvety pink/purple color of the underside of the leaves. When caught by a breeze the heart-shaped leaves twist and turn exposing the soft colors under the leaves causing the tree to shimmer and sparkle in the light.  Sparking Wine was discovered by some of our favorite people, Ray and Cindy Jackson
