Perennial

Full description:

Jacaranda mimosifolia, commonly known as the Blue Jacaranda, is a fast-growing deciduous tree admired for its stunning, trumpet-shaped lavender-blue flowers that blanket the branches in spring and early summer. Native to South America, this ornamental tree has fern-like foliage and a graceful, spreading canopy that provides dappled shade. Its vibrant floral display and elegant form make it a standout feature in landscapes, streetscapes, and large gardens. Though frost-sensitive when young, Jacaranda trees thrive in warm climates and are drought-tolerant once established.

 

Full Growing information from seed:

 

  • Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing
  • Use well-draining seed-starting mix
  • Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press down
  • Do not cover deeply — light aids germination
  • Keep soil consistently moist, not soggy
  • Maintain warmth (70–75°F / 21–24°C) during germination
  • Germination typically occurs in 2–6 weeks
  • Once seedlings develop true leaves, transplant into individual pots
  • Grow in containers for the first year to protect from frost
  • Transplant outdoors in full sun when well established
  • Requires regular watering while young; drought-tolerant when mature


Stratification:

No cold stratification required — soaking seeds in warm water for 24 hours is recommended to soften the seed coat and improve germination.

 

Seed count: 25

 

Medicinal properties:

Jacaranda mimosifolia is primarily ornamental. In some traditional medicine systems, it has been used for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, but these uses are not widely supported by scientific studies and are not common in modern herbal medicine.
