Fresh seeds of Paulownia tomentosa (Foxglove or Empress Tree) – with full instructions ­for germination

Native to China, this is one of the fastest-growing deciduous trees on the planet.  Combine that with the pure beauty and fragrance of the tree in flower, along with its architectural and exotic-looking large leaves, and it is a must have in a any garden with space

It grows between 8-12m (25-40 feet) tall with large heart-shaped to five-lobed leaves 15-40cm across.  Many gardeners cut back the tree to ground level at the end of each year, to keep under 2m in height, using the exotic-looking large leaves to great effect within a pot or amongst a border

In late spring, the whole tree is covered with beautiful pink-lilac and fragrant flowers, each around 5cm long and shaped like foxglove flowers.  Fully hardy to -15°C (5°F).  This tree has been given the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Award of Garden Merit (AGM)
