A woman wearing an umbrella walks past the Jacaranda trees in Lalitpur, on May 4, 2025. Known as Jacaranda Mimosifolia, the purple flowers decorate Kathmandu Valley and have maintained this tradition for a century and a half. Every year, the roads of Kathmandu Valley are painted purple with the flowers of Jacaranda, also called the Hawaiian mimosa tree, which cannot resist breeze and light showers. It is believed that Rana rulers introduced the plant, which grows from cutting or grafting by seedling rootstock and normally takes two to three years to bloom. This genus thrives in full sun and sandy soils, which explains 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.
