Cercis canadensis ‘Covey’
Lavender Twist

Cercis canadensis ‘Covey’ is a distinctive weeping form of Eastern Redbud, valued for its elegant cascading branches and beautiful spring flowers. The tree develops a naturally twisted, pendulous shape, making it an excellent feature or specimen tree for gardens and landscapes.

In early spring, before the foliage emerges, the branches become covered with clusters of lavender-pink to rosy-purple flowers, creating a striking display. The flowers are followed by heart-shaped green leaves that provide a soft, attractive appearance through summer.
This cultivar is generally compact and slow-growing, making it particularly useful where space is limited. Its weeping habit also gives it year-round architectural interest, even when the tree is dormant. In autumn, the leaves can turn yellow, adding another seasonal feature.

It is well suited to small gardens, courtyards, lawns, patios, entrance areas, and ornamental landscapes. Planting it as a single specimen allows its graceful weeping form to be fully appreciated. It prefers a sunny to partially shaded position and well-drained soil. With its unusual form and spectacular spring flowering, Cercis canadensis ‘Covey’ is an excellent choice for adding character and elegance to the landscape.
