Cercis canadensis var. alba

White Eastern Redbud

Zone 4–9. Figure this one out, this Redbud really does not have red buds, ‘Alba’, as the name suggests, produces white flowers; otherwise similar to Redbud in habit and size; as a point of interest, this plant has the variety designation because it reproduces true from seed, if this were not the case and had to be grafted or rooted to achieve the same plant, it would then attain cultivar status and the var. designation would be absent; prefers moist, well drained soil and partial shade to full to sun; our experience is a more uniform, less conjested canopy than the species.
