Catalpa fargesii f. duclouxii (Chinese bean tree)
- Loved by Pollinators
A true showstopper, this graceful tree brings an air of refined beauty to any garden, its blooms surpassing those of most other Catalpas in splendour
Large, unlobed leaves unfurl in spring with a bronze tint, maturing to a rich green. In late spring, clusters of delicate pale pink flowers bloom, adorned with purple-brown spots.
These stunning blooms give way to narrow seedpods, maturing to a deep brown by autumn.
