A general view of Kathmandu, Nepal, as Jacaranda trees bloom and paint the city purple on April 29, 2026. The streets and corners of Kathmandu's main road section are adorned with purple flowers, commonly known as Jacaranda, which reach full bloom during March and April. Known scientifically as Jacaranda Mimosifolia, these flowers have been decorating the Nepali capital for over a century and a half. Every year, the roads of Kathmandu are covered with the flowers of the Jacaranda, also called the Hawaiian mimosa tree, which are sensitive to breeze and light showers. It is believed that Rana rulers introduced the plant, which grows from cuttings or grafting by seedling rootstock and typically takes two to three years to bloom. This genus thrives in full sun and sandy soils, explaining their abundance in warmer climates. Mature plants can survive in colder climates down to -7 ?C (19 ?F); however, they may not bloom as profusely. Younger plants are more fragile and may not survive in colder climates when temperatures drop below freezing.
