Plant Description

The Paulownia tomentosa, commonly known as the Princess Tree or Empress Tree, is a fast-growing deciduous tree admired for its large, heart-shaped velvety leaves and stunning lavender-purple flowers. Blooming in early spring before the leaves emerge, the bell-shaped flowers are fragrant and grow in upright clusters. The tree’s smooth gray bark and distinctive seed pods add year-round interest. Native to China, the Paulownia tomentosa is valued for its ornamental beauty, rapid growth, and ability to thrive in a variety of soils.
