Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

The Black Pearl™ Redbud typically grows to a height of 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 meters) with a similar spread. It has a rounded shape and its heart-shaped leaves emerge as a rich, glossy purple-black color in spring. As the season progresses, the foliage transitions to a deep greenish-purple shade. In fall, the leaves may turn yellow before dropping.

In early spring, before the leaves appear, the Black Pearl™ Redbud produces clusters of small, pink to purple flowers along its branches. These flowers provide a beautiful contrast against the dark foliage and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.

This cultivar thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil. It is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate a range of soil conditions. Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods, to help the tree establish and maintain its health.
