Description

The listing, 50+ Paulownia Tree Seeds.(Royal Empress) has ended.

Fast growing and hundreds of full, fragrant blooms! Royal Empress Tree will grow to its full, mature size in less than 5 years. This gives you instant shade and instant flowers from this hardy tree. The lavender flowers emerge in spring providing you with a sweet fragrance for months on end.

Royal Empress is an entertaining tree year-round. In the winter its branches are covered with furry, pea sized buds, just waiting to burst into huge flowers. At the first sign of spring, the tree explodes with purple blooms.

When summer comes, the tree forms a dense canopy that gives dense shade in just a few years. The leaves are huge, measuring about a foot wide. They’re almost tropical looking. When they drop in the fall, it’s an easy clean up... not like oaks that scatter tens of thousands of tiny leaves.

i read 2 weeks and i think mine was between 2 and 4 weeks maybe...also depends on conditions. and how you germinate them. natually just spreading them or covering with dome and grow light
