They’re not just redbuds anymore. Enjoy the beautiful pink buds of the traditional Eastern Redbud, or try some of the new varieties, the bright purple buds of the Oklahoma Redbud, the white flower of the White Bud, or the burgundy leaf of the Forest Pansy Redbud.
Crabapples
With spring flowers and winter color, crabapples have always been a springtime favorite at the Grass Pad. These are a few of our most popular.
The Royal Raindrops and the Prairie Fire with excellent disease resistance and bright red flower is at the top of our most wanted list.
Spring Snow, with its white flower and green leaf, is the only fruitless variety of crabapple. Sargenti crabapples are very small ornamentals that retain their fruit and are great for bird habitats.
