Add tropical flair and late-season blooms to your garden with Northern Catalpa, a fast-growing tree known for its large heart-shaped leaves and showy summer flowers. In late spring to early summer, clusters of white trumpet-shaped flowers with purple and yellow markings appear, attracting pollinators and adding visual interest. The lush green foliage provides dense summer shade, while long slender seed pods add unique texture in fall. Its broad, open habit makes it ideal for specimen plantings, shade, and naturalized landscapes.
