Tabebuia heterophylla, commonly known as Pink Trumpet Tree, is a deciduous to semi-evergreen tree in the Bignoniaceae family native to the Caribbean. It typically grows 20 to 40 ft tall, forming a rounded to irregular crown with variable foliage that may include simple or compound leaves on the same plant. The tree produces abundant trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of pink, from pale blush to deeper rose, often blooming on bare or sparsely leafed branches, creating a strong seasonal display.

This species prefers full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating a range of conditions once established, including periods of drought. Growth rate is moderate. Cold tolerance is limited, with damage likely below about 30F; best suited to USDA Zones 9 to 11. Tabebuia heterophylla is valued as an ornamental landscape tree and can be grown in large containers while young.
