If you’re an experienced gardener looking to add something bold, fast-growing, and truly spectacular to your landscape, you’ll want to meet the Empress Tree (Paulownia tomentosa). These stunning trees have just arrived at the Nursery, and we’re excited to share why they’re such a favorite among plant-savvy growers.

Why Gardeners Love the Empress Tree

The Empress Tree is known for its remarkable growth rate—some can grow up to 15 feet in just one year! This makes it an excellent choice for anyone looking to establish quick shade or create a dramatic focal point in the garden.

But it’s not just about speed. These trees are also admired for their giant, heart-shaped leaves and breathtaking lavender-purple flowers that bloom in early spring. The blossoms not only add beauty but also attract pollinators, making them a great choice for a thriving, biodiverse garden.

A Resilient and Rewarding Tree

Native to China and widely cultivated across the U.S., the Empress Tree is incredibly adaptable. It thrives in a range of soil types, tolerates drought once established, and handles both full sun and partial shade. With the right care and placement, it can be a long-lasting and rewarding addition to your landscape.
