Jacaranda mimosifolia
Description
Jacaranda mimosifolia, known as jacaranda, is a deciduous tree in the Bignoniaceae family, native to South America. It’s famous for its stunning lavender-blue, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in spring, creating a carpet of petals when they fall. Growing 25-50 feet tall, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Jacarandas are popular as ornamental trees in warm climates, often lining streets or parks. They require moderate watering and are sensitive to frost. Their fern-like leaves and vibrant blooms make them a striking addition to landscapes.
