{Our Cercis canadensis 'Apalachian Red' & Cercis chinensis 'Avondale'}

This time of the year is really peak season for our garden. It is hard to capture it all on camera as the weather is also ever changing. But the Cercis canadensis 'Apalachian Red' (Apalachian Redbud) and our Cercis chinensis 'Avondale' (Chinese Redbud) did make it digital for you to enjoy. We also do have several native Cercis canadensis (Eastern Redbuds) but they are not that exotic. Let us begin with the 'Apalachian Red' below, which was available at Wayside Garden.

Too bad that we've failed to propagate this one, as the seedpods are empty. But with very dense flower clusters in brilliant fuchsia they are a lot showier than the Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis).
Let's now continue with the Cercis chinensis 'Avondale' or Chinese Redbud. Which is a lot smaller and compacter but we've been able to propagate them very successfully. That is rewarding, once you invested in the first one, you can multiply them. The 'Avondale' was available from Durio Nursery in Louisiana.
These two species are a showcase for our Garden Tour from Book an Event. When the blossoms are gone, the leaves appear! You can see already some green coming in the photos below. Most early blooming shrubs and trees produce that way; blossoms and than the leaves...

  1. Liebe Mariette,

    was blüht es bei euch schon schön im Garten!!! Sehr einladend sieht es aus! Diese wunderschönen Narzissen aus dem letzten Post haben es mir sehr angetan. Da unser Garten ziemlich schattig ist, bevorzuge ich helle, insbesondere weiße Blüten. Habe im letzten Herbst ganz viele weiße Tulpen gepflanzt, aber die blühe noch nicht. Bei uns ist es insbesondere nachts noch ziemlich kalt. Und diese schönen Gehölze aus deinem heutigen Post würden bei uns vermutlich überhaupt nicht gedeihen. Schade, denn sie sind so schön.

    Liebe Grüße von Elvira

  4. Hei Mariette,

    Bij jullie staat echt al alles in de bloei! Wat een mooie bloemen en planten hebben jullie in de tuin staan.
    Wij wachten geduldig af om weer eens een beetje in en van de tuin/land te genieten. Want sinds zaterdag sneeuwt het weer. Nu is weer alles wit.

    Fijne week,
    Sandy

  11. Lieve Mariette,

    Dank je wel voor je lieve berichtje op mijn blog. Je hebt een prachtige boom in de tuin staan. Hier in Nederland staan op het moment ook veel bloesembomen in bloei. Prachtig om te zien! Het voorjaar is echt losgebarsten. Van het weekend worden temperaturen verwacht van iets over de twintig graden. Ik kan mij er nu al op verheugen.

    Een gezellige avond & lieve groet,

    Madelief x
