New growth has a light, Pumpkin-orange tint that distinguishes it from the uniformly green-ish-yellow color of 'Hearts of Gold'. In the heat of the Midwest and SE, it doesn't burn; that just makes it grow faster. We think you'll be amazed at its incandescent attractiveness. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"317\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"19\"\u003eCercis canadensis\u003c\/em\u003e ‘The Rising Sun’ is a dazzling and distinctive selection of eastern redbud, prized for its ever-changing foliage and compact, garden-friendly form. Typically growing 8–12 feet tall and wide, it forms a dense, rounded canopy that makes an excellent focal point in small landscapes or mixed borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"319\" data-end=\"847\"\u003eIn early spring, before the leaves emerge, the bare branches are adorned with clusters of rosy lavender, pea-like flowers that hug the stems—a classic redbud display that provides an important early nectar source for pollinators. As the blooms fade, the foliage begins its remarkable show: new leaves emerge in vivid shades of apricot and orange, gradually transitioning through gold and chartreuse before maturing to soft green. This continuous color shift creates a luminous, multicolored effect throughout the growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"849\" data-end=\"1052\"\u003eThe heart-shaped leaves are slightly smaller and thicker than typical redbud foliage, giving the tree a full, textured appearance. In autumn, the leaves take on warm yellow tones before dropping cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1054\" data-end=\"1269\"\u003e‘The Rising Sun’ thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil with moderate moisture.
