Royal Empress Tree – Paulownia tomentosa Seeds | 5600 Seeds | Fast Growing Flowering Tree | Fragrant Spring Blooms | Shade & Timber

Establish a large-scale planting with Royal Empress (Paulownia tomentosa), one of the fastest-growing ornamental flowering trees available. Also known as Princess Tree or Foxglove Tree, this species produces spectacular clusters of pinkish-lavender, funnel-shaped flowers in early spring before the foliage appears. The blooms are lightly fragrant with a vanilla scent and feature creamy yellow striping and deep purple spotting for dramatic spring color.

Its massive, heart-shaped leaves create a bold, tropical appearance throughout the growing season. After flowering, woody seed capsules mature in fall and release abundant winged seeds.

Royal Empress adapts to a wide range of soil conditions, tolerates heat, and grows rapidly—commonly reaching 30–40 feet tall and wide, with potential to reach 50 feet in ideal open landscapes. Unlike many fast growers, a healthy tree can live 80–100 years.
