Ruby Falls Redbud combines a weeping habit with bold, burgundy foliage to create one of the most eye-catching ornamental trees available. In early spring, it bursts with lavender-pink blooms along its bare branches, followed by glossy, deep purple heart-shaped leaves that drape elegantly on cascading limbs. This dwarf variety grows just 6–8 feet tall and wide, making it ideal for small gardens, entryways, or patio containers. Its elegant form and rich color make it a living sculpture in the landscape, offering year-round beauty with minimal care.
