White Pom Poms™ Redbud is an ornamental cultivar of the eastern redbud tree (Cercis canadensis) known for its striking double white flowers that bloom in early spring before the leaves emerge. This cultivar was developed through breeding work to produce unusually full, pom-pom-like blossoms that are more floriferous and refined than typical redbuds. Grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil.
