Compact, glossy, and spring-bloom spectacular, a small-space stunner with big-time charm
FEATURES:
- Naturally compact with a neat, rounded habit that fits beautifully in smaller landscapes
- Dark lavender to pink spring blooms appear along the branches before the leaves fully show up
- New foliage emerges rich and dark, then deepens toward green while keeping a glossy, polished look
- Strong form for easy “designer” impact, perfect when you want a specimen tree without the sprawl
- Fall color shifts into yellow tones for a warm finish to the season
- Hand Selected; Fresh from the Grower
- Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree – does not fit in a box
Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:
Keep a clean mulch ring at the base and let the branching do the talking, then layer around it with softer, lower shapes like hydrangeas, inkberry, or ornamental grasses so the glossy leaves and spring flowers stay front-and-center; if your home has brick or stone, this redbud is a natural pairing because the blooms and dark foliage make those textures look even richer.

Why plant Oklahoma Sparkler Redbud?
Oklahoma Sparkler Redbud is what happens when a classic spring-flowering favorite decides to dress up a little. In early spring, it blooms right on the branches with dark lavender to pink flowers, then follows with glossy foliage that brings a richer, more modern look through the growing season. The best part is the size: it stays compact, so you get that wow-factor without sacrificing your whole yard to one canopy. Think of it as the redbud for people who love beauty, but also love having room for a patio, a path, and maybe a chair that does not live permanently in shade.
How to use Oklahoma Sparkler Redbud in the landscape?
Plant Oklahoma Sparkler as a specimen near your entry, along a front walk, or just off a patio where you can enjoy the spring bloom show up close and appreciate its tidy form all season; it is especially useful in smaller beds and tighter spaces, and it also looks fantastic repeated in a border or woodland edge where you want a rhythmic, ornamental pop without creating a heavy canopy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Oklahoma Sparkler blooms in dark lavender to pink shades in spring, appearing along the branches before the foliage fully emerges.
Water deeply and consistently through the first growing season to establish roots. After that, give a slow soak during extended dry spells and avoid consistently soggy soil.
Prune lightly in late winter or just after flowering to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Avoid heavy pruning to preserve its naturally compact form.
