Catalpa: A Showstopper with Tropical Flair.

Catalpa trees, often known as Indian bean trees, bring a bold and tropical touch to our British gardens. With their large, heart-shaped leaves and impressive canopy, Catalpas are hard to miss and add a wonderful sense of drama. In early summer, they produce clusters of orchid-like, white flowers with delicate purple and yellow markings—an elegant display that attracts bees and other pollinators. Catalpa’s lush foliage and striking form make it a perfect focal point, particularly in larger gardens where it has the space to spread out and show off its full beauty.

A Haven for Wildlife and a Unique Autumn Feature.

Catalpas don’t just look the part; they’re also great for supporting local wildlife. The flowers are a magnet for bees in early summer, and as the season progresses, they form long, slender seed pods that dangle from the branches well into autumn and winter, adding a quirky feature to the tree. These pods provide shelter and interest, adding texture to the garden’s winter landscape. For those who enjoy a garden filled with life and character, Catalpa is a splendid choice, offering unique beauty, a haven for pollinators, and a hint of the tropical right here at home.

Hardy and Low-Maintenance.

Despite its exotic appearance, the Catalpa is a surprisingly hardy and low-maintenance tree, well-suited to the British climate. Once established, it can withstand our winters and cope with a variety of soils, as long as they’re well-drained. Catalpas thrive in full sun, where they can develop their broad, leafy canopies, which provide excellent shade in summer. Pruning is minimal, typically only necessary to remove lower branches or shape the tree if desired. It’s a tree that gives plenty of reward without demanding much attention, ideal for gardeners seeking a touch of the exotic without the fuss.
