Maroon Jacaranda is a captivating dwarf tree or large shrub renowned for its rich maroon-purple trumpet-shaped flowers. Native to Brazil, this ornamental plan is cherished for its compact size and vibrant blooms. Deciduous or evergreen shrub or small tree, 10-15 feet tall. This dwarf jacaranda blooms when still small, in 1-3 gal pot. Good choice for small gardens or patio, can be grown as a house plant near a bright window or in a greenhouse. Young trees are frost sensitive (to 25F) and need protection on the coldest nights. Adult trees are resistant to 20F.

Jacaranda jasminoides Maroon is a charming, compact tree that brings a touch of drama to small gardens and patios. It usually grows between 10 and 25 feet tall, with a bushy habit that makes it perfect for tight spaces or even containers. What really steals the show are its deep maroon to dark purple trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in clusters from late spring through summer. In warm climates, it may surprise you with blooms at other times too! The fine, fern-like leaves add a delicate, lacy texture to the overall look.

This jacaranda loves full sun but will tolerate a bit of shade, and it is happiest in fertile, well-drained soil. Water it regularly when it is young or during dry spells, but once established, it is fairly easygoing. It s best suited for USDA zones 9 to 11, and while mature plants can handle brief cold snaps down to 20F, younger ones appreciate a little extra protection when the temps dip.

Whether in the ground or in a pot, the Maroon Jacaranda is a low-maintenance beauty. A little pruning here and there keeps it tidy, and its elegant blooms make it a standout wherever it s planted. In warm places it may keep its foliage year-round, giving you a long-lasting touch of tropical color. A great pick for anyone who wants big color in a small footprint!
