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.
