This jacaranda loves full sun but will tolerate a bit of shade, and it's happiest in fertile, well-drained soil. Water it regularly when it's young or during dry spells, but once established, it's fairly easygoing. It is 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 is planted.
