Midnight Express Redbud is a stunning dark-leafed native deciduous tree with an upright habit and deep pink flowers bloom in early spring. The deep burgundy heart shaped leaves earn emerald undertones in summer, than becomes lit up with butterscotch tones while remaining burgundy and red. Thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
