Koelreuteria: The Golden Rain Tree with Year-Round Appeal.

Koelreuteria, often called the Golden Rain Tree, is a delightful addition to the garden, known for its elegance and seasonal interest. In midsummer, it bursts into sprays of delicate, yellow flowers that look almost like tiny lanterns hanging from the branches, creating a soft, golden glow. These blooms are not only beautiful but also attract a variety of pollinators, adding a gentle hum of activity to the garden. Koelreuteria’s floral display is one of its standout features, bringing a cheerful brightness to the garden at a time when many other plants have finished flowering.

Fascinating Seed Pods and Autumn Colour.

As summer fades, Koelreuteria continues to charm with its ornamental seed pods, which transition from green to shades of pink and bronze. These papery pods resemble small lanterns and give the tree a unique appearance, adding visual interest well into autumn. Meanwhile, the leaves turn a brilliant yellow, creating a stunning display that captures the essence of the season. Koelreuteria’s layered beauty makes it a tree with true multi-seasonal interest, ideal for those who want a tree that provides something new and delightful as the year progresses.

Hardy, Adaptable, and Wildlife-Friendly.

Koelreuteria is a surprisingly hardy and low-maintenance tree, tolerant of various soil types and thriving in sunny, well-drained locations. Once established, it requires little more than the occasional prune to maintain its shape, making it an excellent choice for gardeners who want beauty without the fuss. Its flowers attract bees and other pollinators, and the dense canopy provides shelter for small birds, making it a great choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. For a tree that brings elegance, seasonal interest, and ecological benefits, Koelreuteria is a splendid choice, lending its charm to any garden setting.
