    Empress Tree. Paulownia tomentosa

    It has fragrant purple flowers shaped like fox glove that bloom and fall April and May.

        Yeah, it can be controversial. Best not to plant it near a foundation. There are few in a mostly empty field near where I live and another few in a park where the trees are spread out.

      That sounds beautiful, there were a lot of Jacarandas where I grew up in Australia, they have lovely purple flowers too.
