Cercis canadensis var. texensis 'Oklahoma'

An excellent selection for a small suburban garden or residential streets and parks and garden areas. The spectacular display of deep pinkish-purple blooms make this a truly elegant addition to any garden. Effective planted as a specimen or in groups. One of the best heat resistant selections of the redbud cultivars.
