Its bright green, fern-like foliage delivers a stunning contrast in perennial gardens. The semi-evergreen tree is resistant to drought and heat and grows well in most warmer areas (Zones 9-11).

The Jacaranda blooms from May to June, revealing stunning blue flowers that add color to your garden or patio. It’s a fast-growing tree, reaching up to 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide. And apart from its beautiful flowers, the tree attracts plenty of bees, butterflies, and other pollinating wildlife, making your garden even more lively.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: The Jacaranda is a full sun lover that prefers well-drained soil. Select a spot that receives 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.

Plant your Jacaranda in a hole that is 2 to 3 times the width of the root ball, and as deep. Place your tree and backfill the hole with soil, tamping down as you go to prevent air pockets. Place a thick layer of mulch over the planting area to protect the roots from fluctuating temperatures and help conserve water. Finally, water well to saturate the entire planting area.

2. Watering: Water your Bonsai Blue Jacaranda Tree once or twice weekly while it’s establishing. Once established, your tree will only need water during times of extreme drought.

3. Fertilizing: Bonsai Blue Jacaranda Trees need very little fertilizer, but if you want to speed up growth, you can use a well balanced, slow-release formula, such a 10-10-10, in early spring.

4. Pruning: Minimal pruning is required – only prune to remove dead or damaged limbs, or to shape as needed.
