Catalpa speciosa is a robust tree characterized by its broad, heart-shaped foliage. In July, it produces large white flowers marked with purple spots, though these blooms are not abundant. After flowering, the tree develops elongated, slender seedpods.

Catalpa are broad-spreading deciduous trees characterized by their large, attractive leaves and upright clusters of bell-shaped flowers that appear in late summer. After flowering, they produce elongated, slender seed pods that remain on the tree.

Catalpa speciosa 'Pulverulenta' is a gradually expanding tree characterized by its broad, heart-shaped foliage, which is prominently marked with creamy-white spots. In mid-summer, established specimens produce upright clusters of white flowers adorned with purple and yellow spots. These blossoms are succeeded by elongated, bean-like seedpods.

Catalpa x erubescens 'Purpurea' is a broad, deciduous tree that can reach heights of approximately 15 meters. Its young shoots and newly unfurling leaves exhibit a blackish-purple hue, transitioning to a deeper green as they mature. In mid to late summer, the tree produces large, open clusters of white flowers, each measuring up to 5 centimeters across, adorned with orange and purple markings. Following the flowering period, slender pods can develop, growing up to 40 centimeters in length.
