‘Purpurea’ is a stunning Catalpa, that is much loved for its heart-shaped, maroon-green leaflets. Producing bundles of small white flowers from July until August, they are later followed by attractive seed pods and create a striking contrast. Boasting an elegant bushy form, this half-hardy tree would be ideal for creating a showy focal point in your landscape and would sit well in tropical and wildlife themed spaces also. Happy to progress in direct sunlight, watch it flourish to a height and spread of 15m! Shiny purple-black foliage emerges in spring and slowly matures to a bright shade of green. The leaves are large and showy making an exotic looking display. Catalpa x erubescens ‘Purpurea’ produces upright panicles of white flowers with delicate orange and purple markings. Grow Catalpa trees in fertile, moist but well drained soil. Choose a sheltered position in full sun with protection from strong winds.
