Royal Empress Tree – Paulownia tomentosa Seeds | 1400 Seeds | Fast Growing Flowering Tree | Fragrant Spring Blooms | Shade & Timber

Grow one of the fastest-growing ornamental trees with Royal Empress (Paulownia tomentosa), also known as Princess Tree or Foxglove Tree. This striking flowering tree produces large clusters of pinkish-lavender, funnel-shaped blooms in early spring before the leaves emerge. The flowers are lightly fragrant with a vanilla scent and feature creamy yellow striping and deep purple spotting for dramatic visual impact.

Its huge, heart-shaped leaves create a bold, tropical look throughout the growing season. After flowering, woody seed capsules form and mature in fall. Royal Empress is heat tolerant, adaptable to many soil types, and capable of reaching 30–40 feet quickly under ideal conditions. In open landscapes, it may reach up to 50 feet.

Valued as a shade tree, ornamental specimen, and lightweight timber source, this long-lived tree can thrive for decades when properly maintained.
