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.

This 5600-seed bulk pack is ideal for reforestation projects, timber production, wholesale growers, nurseries, homestead windbreaks, or large ornamental plantings.

You will receive seeds similar in quality to those shown in the listing photos.

✔️ 5600 Royal Empress seeds
