Paulownia tomentosa, aka foxglove tree, princess tree or empress tree bears attractive pale purple flowers in spring, followed by large green leaves in summer. The tree can grow from 10 - 25 metres tall, and with its very large deciduous leaves, may not be suitable for small gardens, although it does respond to pruning.
