PLANT PROFILE

Koelreuteria paniculata, known as Golden Rain Tree or Chinese Flame Tree, is a stunning deciduous ornamental tree that lights up any landscape with its vibrant golden-yellow flowers in late spring and early summer. Growing to 6–9 meters tall and wide, it features graceful fern-like foliage and a spreading canopy that creates a picturesque silhouette.

Its cascading flower clusters resemble hanging lanterns, and later in the season, unique papery seed capsules add charming visual interest. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, this adaptable tree is perfect as a specimen, shade, or street tree. It looks excellent in gardens and urban areas, offering both beauty and resilience. Once established, it’s drought-tolerant and requires only low to moderate maintenance, making it a practical yet eye-catching choice for your outdoor space.

Choose the Right Location: Opt for a sunny to partially shaded spot in your garden with well-draining soil.

Prepare the Planting Hole: Dig a hole that's as deep and twice as wide as the root ball of your Golden Rain Tree.

Position with Care: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.

Backfill with Soil: Fill the hole with soil, gently tamping it down to remove air pockets.

Water Thoroughly: Give your newly planted Koelreuteria paniculata a generous watering to help it settle in.

Mulch for Moisture: Apply a layer of mulch around the base to conserve soil moisture and deter weeds.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
