Catalpa erubescens 'Purpurea' Tree
This marvelous tree produces large, heart-shaped leaves which, when young, are a deep glossy purple, turning to shades of dark-green and chocolatey-purple as they mature. Unlike some other catalpa varieties, erubescens ‘Purpurea’ produces its foxglove-like flowers even at a young age. The creamy white flowers feature purple and orange markings and are followed by long seed pods.
A small deciduous tree, Catalpa erubescens ‘Purpurea’ has a slightly spreading form and will grow to 6 x 5 metres in 20 years. If coppiced it will stay even smaller, producing even larger leaves. Best positioned in a sheltered situation with full sun, this tree will tolerate most soils except wet sites. This purple leaved Indian Bean tree is a fantastic choice for creating bold contrast in the garden.
