'Whitewater' showcases some of the most striking variegation of any redbud we've ever seen! Its vast heart-shaped leaves emerge almost solidly white with green speckles which begin to dominate the leaves as they mature until the pattern reverses and the foliage becomes green with white accents. Stunning!
This native ornamental tree boasts a lovely weeping habit which adds a spark of uncommon beauty to your landscape. Along with its dynamic foliage changes and handsome growth habit, 'Whitewater' is a real treat in Spring when its bare branches are drenched in rosy purple blooms which resemble sweet pea flowers. Best of all this tree thrives in partial sun and even deep shade so it is a great choice for redefining a light deficient landscape. This redbud resists deer and is easy to grow, so treat yourself to the easy beauty of 'Whitewater'!
