Dwarf Maroon Jacaranda is a charming, compact tree that grows 10-12 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'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. 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!
