Paulownia tomentosa or imperialis (Foxglove tree)

Paulownia tomentosa produces its fragrant pink-blue foxglove like flowers before it comes into leaf like Halesia Carolina and looks very exotic to British eyes. It is startlingly fast growing and has large attractive leaves similar to Catalpa bignonioides which mean it needs a sheltered position. Although common in some parts of America and Japan where the climate really suits it, it is still pretty rare in the UK. A lovely specimen tree, the Foxglove Tree is very tolerant of urban situations. Loved by bumblebees and winner of an RHS AGM.
