Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:

Keep the base clean with a generous mulch ring and let the trunk and branching be the sculpture, then “feather” the edges with softer shapes like hydrangeas, inkberry, or ornamental grasses so the redbud reads as the star without looking lonely; if you want extra polish, echo the purple spring foliage with deep-toned heuchera or dark mulch for a look that feels curated but still effortless.

Why Plant Purple Vase Redbud?

Purple Vase Redbud is for anyone who wants big seasonal magic without needing big space. It grows in a naturally narrow, upright shape, so it slips neatly beside patios, along walkways, or into those “this spot needs something, but not a giant” corners of the yard. Then spring arrives and it puts on a full pink bloom show right on the branches, the kind of display that stops dog-walkers mid-sentence. After flowering, the foliage follows with fresh purple tones before mellowing toward green for summer, giving you color and contrast without demanding constant attention. It is also noted for heat tolerance and drought tolerance once established, which is basically the landscaping version of “low drama, high reward.”

How to use Purple Vase Redbud in the landscape?

Plant Purple Vase Redbud as a specimen near an entry, along a front walk, or just off a patio where you can enjoy the spring blooms at eye level and appreciate its narrow, upright form in every season. It is a natural fit for tighter planting beds, city lots, and side yards where a wider-canopy tree would feel like it is trying to move in and take over the living room. Use it to punctuate a foundation planting, frame a gate or garden path, or repeat it down a long border for a graceful rhythm that feels intentional and designed, not accidental.

How Does Shipping Work?

Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.

*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.

Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.

Shipping Delays:

From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.

How Does Sizing Work?

The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)

Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.

All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
