Resounding Redbuds

One of the drawbacks of writing e-gardens from my place in North Texas is that I lag behind you South Texas pacesetters. Your redbuds have finished their season already. Nonetheless, it’s still a great time for planting, so my story is timeless.
In their newsletter last week (nice job, Kathy!) The Home and Garden Center, 4513 W. Loop 281, Longview TX 75604 highlighted the many varieties of redbuds now on the market better than any nursery I’ve seen to date.
Owner Danny Armstrong and I visited about how there seems to be a new type of redbud introduced every year – so many improvements in the past 25 years. Click through their many gorgeous photos on that linking page above to see what I mean.
Our friend Steven Chamblee has bought tons of plants from Danny and his folks over the past 6 or 7 years, and I can certainly see why. Thanks for their permission in allowing us to share this collection of varieties they offer.
