About This Plant
Koelreuteria paniculata (Golden Rain Tree), 'Golden Rain Tree' is valued in the landscape for character, form, and seasonal interest.
Goldenrain Tree , Asian native small-to-medium shade tree with showy yellow summer flower panicles followed by papery pink-to-tan lantern seed pods. A reliable bloomer.
Full sun suits this species. Plant in well-drained; tolerates lean and dry soil. Hardy USDA Zone 5 to 9. Drought-tolerant once established. Can self-sow; deadhead seed pods to limit. Generally trouble-free.
