Golden Rain Tree

Koelreuteria paniculata

The Golden Rain Tree earns its place as a specimen of year-round distinction, offering pinnate foliage that opens wine-red in spring, great panicles of golden-yellow flowers in midsummer, and papery lantern-like seed pods in shades of pink and amber through autumn. Exceptionally tolerant of heat, drought, and poor urban soils, it is an outstanding choice for a focal point in a smaller garden.
