Blue Jacaranda 1 Live Plant – Jacaranda mimosifolia in 3-Inch Pot

Blue Jacaranda (Jacaranda mimosifolia) is a deciduous ornamental tree known for delicate, fern-like foliage and clusters of lavender-blue to purple, trumpet-shaped flowers. It is native to southern and central South America and is widely grown as a specimen landscape tree. UF/IFAS currently assesses it as not a problem species in North, Central, or South Florida.

This listing includes 1 live Blue Jacaranda plant in a 3-inch pot. The supplied information lists the plant height as approximately 5 inches in the “What You’ll Receive” section, while the description also states 8–10 inches. Because these shipping-height measurements conflict, the listing preserves the more specific supplied plant-height statement without presenting both as a single measurement.

Jacaranda performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. UF/IFAS lists the species for USDA Zones 9B–11 and notes high drought tolerance once established.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
