Hong Kong Orchid Tree

This stunning semi-evergreen tree features an umbrella-like crown and grows up to forty feet tall. Its distinctive bi-lobed leaves resemble butterfly wings, providing a lush backdrop for fragrant, rose-purple orchid-like flowers that bloom from fall to spring. As a sterile hybrid, it produces no messy seed pods, making it ideal for urban streets and gardens. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil across warm climates, offering excellent drought tolerance once established.
