5 Types of tree with purple flowers

Trees provide a lot of value to any property. They give shade, freshen the air in your neighbourhood, attract wildlife such as beneficial insects, butterflies, bees, squirrels, and birds, and, of course, look fantastic in your yard.

Especially those with purple, lavender, lilac, or violet blooms.

This article will discuss the 5 different species of trees that have purple blossoms.

Myrtle (Crepe Myrtle) (Lagerstroemia)

The crepe myrtle is a native of the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, northern Australia, and parts of Oceania. It is widely utilised in both residential and commercial landscaping.

Purple is the most common and popular flower colour, while other colours such as red, pink, and white are also available.

The height of this tree ranges from less than one foot to more than 100 feet. All species, however, are woody in nature and have a beautiful winter bark.

It is strongly advised to grow Crepe Myrtle in warm southern temperature zones seven through nine. Its purple blossom attracts local hummingbirds.

Tree of Chastity (Vitex agnus-castus)

The chaste tree seems to be a shrub with purple or blue blossoms since it is a low-growing tree.

This tree requires little care and grows to a height of four to fifteen feet. It is indigenous to the Mediterranean region and thrives in dry, sandy, and even rocky soils.

Chaste Tree blooms from late summer to the beginning of October, usually after other shrubs have finished their show.

The Jacaranda Tree (Jacaranda mimosifolia)

The Jacaranda Tree is native to subtropical areas, but it is now found all over the world due to its beautiful, fragrant, and trumpet-shaped flowers.

Locust 'Purple Robe' (Robinia pseudoacacia 'Purple Robe')

This fast-growing, mid-sized ornamental flowering tree can withstand the worst conditions in a variety of environments.

The fragrant 'Purple Robe' Locust Tree, an improvement on the Black Locust Tree, may grow to reach 30 to 50 feet tall.

During the spring, its Wisteria-like purple blossoms attract pollinators from the surrounding area. USDA zones four through eight are ideal for growing it.

It may grow in any type of soil, but you should avoid planting it in places that frequently flood because this tree cannot withstand standing water.

Tree of Purple Orchids (Bauhinia Purpurea)

The purple orchid tree is an evergreen tropical tree endemic to the Indian subcontinent and Myanmar.

It may grow up to 17 feet tall and is hardy in USDA zones 9b through 11. Its flowers bloom from summer through winter and it thrives in loam or sandy soil with moderate shade or full sun.
