Paulownia catalpifolia (Catalpa Paulownia)
Paulownia catalpifolia (Catalpa Paulownia) : A sea of flowers in pastel colours, ranging from purple-pink to white, as if in a color box. The resilient, fast-growing deciduous broadleaf tree from eastern Asia can attain a height of 1-2 m in its first year under ideal conditions. In nature, exposed trees attain a height of 10-15 feet. In the juvenile period, the heart-shaped leaves are quite big (30-45 cm in diameter) and slightly hairy on the underside. The large-flowered bluebell tree is not only a lovely blossoming ornamental tree, but it's also a great source of shade.
