Catalpa bignonioides

Catalpa bignonioides

Catalpa bignonioides is a tree native to the United States. It grows up to 10 meters tall, with a regular, low crown.

The white, purple-flecked flowers, 5 cm in diameter, are gathered in multiple-flowered panicles and begin blooming in late June and early July.

The large, heart-shaped leaves, up to 25 cm long, are a nectar-bearing plant.

The catalpa is a melliferous plant. The oils it contains repel mosquitoes.

The fruit, a capsule, ranges from 20 to 40 cm long and remains on the tree throughout the winter until spring.

It prefers a sunny location. It grows best in fertile, well-drained soil.

Every order is accompanied by a receipt or (upon request) an invoice, a delivery note compliant with WIORiN requirements, as well as a plant passport, if required.

The seeds we offer are of high quality and intended for both nurseries and amateurs.

Seed Handling Instructions:

Keep seeds in a cool place throughout the winter, such as the refrigerator. In spring, sow seeds in containers filled with a mixture of all-purpose soil and sand.
