Growing Conditions & Care:

• Spacing: Requires a large area, as it can grow 10–15m wide.
• Positioning: Avoid planting near swimming pools, as the flowers and leaves can clog filters. Keep away from sewer lines (minimum 3.5m).
• Maintenance: Generally, do not prune, as it ruins the natural, spreading canopy.

Uses In The Garden:

• Feature/Specimen Tree: Perfect as a centerpiece on a large lawn, creating a dramatic “carpet” of purple flowers when they fall.
• Shade Tree: Provides light, filtered shade, making it ideal near patios or in open garden spaces.
• Avenue/Street Planting: Widely used to line driveways or roads for a dramatic, immersive effect.
