Jacaranda mimosifolia

USE FOR : Suited to cottage gardens and feature planting in medium and large gardens, will provide a dappled shaded area.
CLIMATE : Frost free; humid climates will result in greater flowering than in dry air. Drought tolerant; will stand temperatures as low as -5C once mature trees, but flowering may be impacted.
PLANTING : Plant in full sun to maximize vibrancy of the new growth and flowering. Plant in a free draining soil rich in organic matter.
CARE : Mulch and water well during dry periods. Pruning is not recommended as upright shoots form where branches have been removed changing the naturally rounded form of the tree.

YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
