Introduced in 2024, this tree is a great alternative to Flame Thrower. Deeper red coloration with bright greens make this tree a real show stopper in the garden. A cross between the burgundy colored and golden redbuds, the Hearts A'fire dazzles with multiple colors, burgundy, red, orange, and deep and bright greens, all simultaneously in the foliage on each branch. The size of the Flamethrower is similar to that of the rising sun, keeping it small, topping out at 15 feet high and 15 feet wide. Like most other redbuds, it is a low maintenance tree and can tolerate full sun with less scorch and fading than Flame Thrower, but does best in morning or afternoon sun.
Cultivated by the same nursery that brought you rising sun. This is a limited tree that is sure to sell out, so make sure you get your hands on one while our supplies last.
Hearts A'fire Redbud is similar to the rising sun, but larger in stature meaning that it is more useful as a single specimen in a garden bed or yard and that the canopy or structures will play more of a role in selecting a planting location. With it's multitude of bright yellows, reds, and oranges, the Hearts A'fire pairs well with the solid deep greens of hostas, perennials, boxwood, grasses and ferns when in a garden bed, or as a single tree with natural dark brown mulch and elements of hardscaping. Given that it is even more audacious than the Rising Sun, we recommend pairing with companion plants that bring in greens and other neutral colors, which frame the Hearts A'fire in the landscape. Hearts A'fire is a native cultivar, and pairs well with other native perennials when the goal is a native North American garden.
Proper fertilization is also important. The more new growth on the tree the more color you will see - you can find more information about how to plant and fertilize on the tab labeled "Care" below.
