How to grow Catalpa

A majestic tree that graces landscapes with its captivating presence, Catalpa bignonioides produces a lush canopy and striking flowers. Large, bright green, heart-shaped leaves emerge with a bronze tint in late spring, and stay all summer and into the autumn, forming a beautiful, naturally rounded canopy. In spring and early summer, clusters of fragrant, delicate white, trumpet-shaped blossoms attract pollinators and fill the air with a sweet fragrance. Long, slim, seed pods hang from the branches in autumn, hence the common name Indian Bean Tree. As autumn arrives, the leaves turn a warm golden hue, casting a beautiful glow over the landscape.

Easy to care for and adaptable to various soil types, Catalpa bignonioides thrives in full sun to partial shade, making it a versatile choice for gardens of all sizes. Whether planted as a focal point or incorporated into mixed borders, this majestic tree is sure to leave a lasting impression.
