Catalpa bignonioides (Southern Catalpa or Indian Bean Tree)
Catalpa bignonoides
is a native of the southeastern US. It has large leaves like the
Foxglove Tree
but is in leaf by the time it flowers. Bizarrely, these leaves secrete nectar. Its large white flowers are followed by thin, bean like pods.
Catalpa bignonoides
is recommended for bees by
The British Beekeepers' Association.
Size: 125 cm
Flowers: June - July
Soil type: Moist, well drained soils
