Lapacho

The Lapacho prefers a full sun, warm, and sheltered location. It is heat-tolerant and, depending on the species, slightly to moderately frost-tolerant.

The soil should be deep, loose, and well-drained. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (approx. 5.5–7.0) is ideal. Waterlogging should be avoided.

The plant grows as a medium to large deciduous tree, usually reaching 8 to 20 meters in height. It is mainly valued for its spectacular bloom in pink, yellow, white, or purple.
