Hearts of Gold' is primarily distinguished from other redbuds by its attractive golden foliage and its ability to produce flower buds on one-year old whips. It typically grows to 10' tall over the first 5 years, eventually maturing over time to 20-25' tall.

Clusters of tiny, reddish-purple, pea-like flowers bloom for 2-3 weeks in early spring (March-April) before the foliage emerges.

Semi-glossy, broad-ovate, heart-shaped leaves (to 3-5" long and as wide) emerge with orange-red coloration before maturing to bright gold. Golden leaves gradually pale to chartreuse or yellowish-green as summer progresses.

Fruits (flattened legumes) on this cultivar are rarely produced.
