Catalpa speciosa
Catalpa speciosa is a large ornamental tree admired for its abundant, generous foliage and spectacular clusters of white flowers spotted with yellow and purple in late spring to early summer, which attract butterflies and pollinators while providing a remarkable floral presence in large gardens, parks, or landscaped areas. Its rounded to spreading silhouette offers generous shade, ideal for creating resting areas or visually structuring vast landscapes. Very hardy and adaptable to a variety of well-drained soils, this tree prefers sunny to partial shade exposure and is distinguished by its ease of maintenance despite its imposing stature.
