It's nearly impossible to resist the charm of this tiny, adorable tree. With its amazing spring and fall color and unique umbrella shape, the Lavender Twist® Weeping Redbud tree (Cercis canadensis 'Covey') packs a lot of interest into a small plant!

The impact is accentuated by the weeping, twisted branches tipping towards the ground. This tiny tree explodes in the spring with electric lavender flower clusters cascading along the bare, weeping branches in early spring.

You'll be amazed how quickly hummingbirds and butterflies will flock to its fragrant branches. They'll adore the early nectar source!

As the season transitions into summer, the density of the Lavender Twist®s canopy becomes another very attractive feature. Large, dark, heart-shaped leaves cover the plant all through the growing season.

The leaves have a glossy upper surface and will shimmer in the sunlight. The brilliant yellow fall color adds another highlight to the performance.

No matter how large - or how small - your landscape is, there is always room for a Lavender Twist® or two.

We sell out of this fabulous tree every single year. If you see it in stock, order today to avoid disappointment!

How to Use Lavender Twist® Weeping Redbud in the Landscape

It's easy to use this versatile, endearing tree in many places in the landscape. It makes an incredible focal point as a living sculpture. It can also be used as a very effective accent tree.

Use Lavender Twist® to block out unwanted low views in the garden. You can think of it as a cute, little screen to give strategic privacy.

You'll love the way this pretty plant helps you relax on your patio. Plant it behind a loveseat or near a side door to boost your sense of space. Even if you can't plant it in the ground, it will do well when grown in a container. Use one of the enormous commercial-grade containers available now for decades of enjoyment.

Include one or more in your front yard. It's wonderful as a small tree in a foundation planting. Try it at the corner of your house, situated 15 feet away from the exterior wall. It will be a graceful accent to welcome guests.

Plant several Lavender Twist® along a rocky slope, then, simply allow the branches to grow long and cascade down to soften the wall. This tree can add a bold touch of drama without much extra care beyond providing water as needed.

Or, use 3, 5, or 7 in a berm (large raised mound) planting. We would advise grouping them into smaller clusters for the most natural look. If you use 7, for instance, try a group of 3 in a loose triangle. Then, give breathing room between another group of 4.

This tree has such a sculptural look with its twisting and turning branches. Give each one some breathing room with at least 10 feet between each plant.

Before you plant, draw out your plan on paper. Once your plants arrive, take another moment to place each tree while it's still in the container.

You'll also want to study each of your plants. Decide which trees you'll partner up together. Decide which direction you want each tree to face.

You really, truly can't go wrong or make a mistake with the Lavender Twist® Weeping Redbud.

For a unique screen, plant a row of them 6 - 8 feet apart and let the branches grow down to the ground. This will be an interesting feature all year long. Even in winter, the zigs and zags of the branches will draw your eye.

No matter where you place them, they will look amazing and add so much character. Order now and enjoy!

#ProPlantTips for Care

Lavender Twist® Weeping Redbud tree does require well-drained soil. If puddles remain on your soil after a rain or watering, consider elevating the planting area. Add 18 - 24 inches of soil above the native soil line and plant your tree directly in that mound.

Please don't plant your tree too low in the soil. For container plants, plant at the same level as the nursery soil line. For bareroot trees, look for the color change (soil line) and plant at that depth.

For best results in warm, dry climates, give protection from the hot afternoon sun. Provide a 3-inch deep layer of mulch. You'll start about 2 inches away from the trunk and apply mulch thickly all around the tree to a distance of 3 feet outside the canopy. This will keep the root system nice and cool.

Give it regular summer watering. This is especially important in hardiness Zones 9 - 10.

In the fall, you'll appreciate how quickly the leaves drop once the plant goes dormant. This makes fall cleanup a breeze.

Staking Tips for Young Trees

This beautiful plant naturally grows as a 5-foot-high groundcover, spilling over the ground if left to its own devices. It will spread out over a wide area and can cascade over walls.

But the expert growers at Nature Hills will field train the plant into a small tree with a sturdy trunk that grows upright. The head of the tree will be comprised of downward cascading branches.

Staking Lavender Twist® as a young plant will help continue to develop the height of the trunk. Train it to grow as tall as you'd like.

We do recommend that you keep it staked until the trunk is at least 4 to 5 feet tall. You can even keep it tied to a 10-foot bamboo pole until the trunk is 8 feet tall.

Check the tying tape regularly to ensure it doesn't grow too tight. Retie if you need to as your tree trunk thickens up in caliper.

You can also influence the look of the branches with easy pruning techniques.

Pruning Tips for Lavender Twist® Weeping Redbud

Prune your tree after flowering to direct the spring growth and allow airflow into the canopy.

As the plant matures, fall pruning is required to remove dead, weak, or crossed limbs inside the dense canopy. This will help maintain good airflow.

You also need to decide how long you want to let the branches grow.

Some people allow the cascading limbs to grow to the ground, where they spread out as ground cover around the base of the tree. This bold look grabs attention in any landscape, especially if you have a slope or rock wall.

Lavender Twist® also looks incredible when the straight trunk is exposed. You can prune the lowest branches right back to the main trunk. You can create a manicured umbrella tree by pruning the weeping laterals at the same length all around.

Any way you want to grow it, Lavender Twist® creates a spectacular look in the garden. Place your order now!

Choking Hazard
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
This item is not suitable for puppies. When chewed on pieces of plastic fall off the toys and can create a choking hazard for small dogs/puppies. I had to throw all of the pieces in this set in the trash.

Best small puppy toys
Color: Purple
This is one of the best puppy toy for heavy chewers. I have a 3lb chihuahua who chews as much as my Labs would. The pieces don’t fall apart in little bits and keep her busy for a little while. One of the best parts of the toy was the braided cloth attached to it. The cloth is soft and doesn’t shred like a rope toy so no swallowing bits of rope and no getting nails stuck in rope. I highly recommend these toys for you little chewers! PS Would love to see if they make any other toys. Their website is very tiny and has no contact info.

Cute but potentially a choking problem
Color: Pink
My 5 month old miniature poodle actually bit off the little knobs on a couple of these toys. Needless to say I took them all away from her. They are cute toys but not really safe

Goldilocks of dog toys!
We recently rescued a small/medium bulldog breed (35lbs) and she *loves* toys. Problem was that our other dog's (75lbs) toys were too big. They literally were the size of her. We found that our new baby pooch was constantly raiding our cat's bed with the cat toys. They were more her size and she knew it. I bought her some cat toys (mostly mice with catnip inside and a yarn tail). She *loved* them, but they were too small. She would choke on them and I would literally have to pull them out of her throat by the mouse tail. Scared us too much so we gave (all 20) away to a friend. I scoured Amazon and found these whimsical toys and they are *JUST RIGHT*! Perfect size, have held up several days of chewing and gnawing, squeak pretty well, and my big dog also loves them! These deserve the 4.9 (5.0 but can't please everyone) rating that lead me to purchase them in the first place. Buy with confidence for your medium size (or any size really) fur baby!

Super Cute!!
These adorable toys are incredibly cute! My 9-week-old puppy absolutely loves them. There are so many different options that I can easily rotate them to keep him entertained and prevent boredom. So far, they have held up well against his teething, and I've even needed to wash a few of them in my washing machine due to potty training. They are perfect for small dogs and puppies and offer great value for the price.
