Catalpa Northern

Northern Catalpa is a deciduous flowering tree that has naturalized in Ontario. It features large green leaves and clusters of orchid-like white flowers with purple and yellow spotting on the interior that arrive in summer. Once finished, the flowers turn into long, thin, bean-like seed pods. 

Northern Catalpa grows best in full to part sun with moist to wet, well-drained soil. It's tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions and can even adapt to dry soil and/or seasonal flooding.
