The Jacaranda tree (Jacaranda mimosifolia) is a perennial that grows up to 20 inches long, 25-50 ft. tall, 15-30 ft. wide, and provides a perfect shade. It produces incredible purple and blue-purple flowers in spring and summer. 

It mainly grows in South America but is an invasive species in other parts. It thrives best in sandy and well-drained soil. Under the right conditions, it takes approximately eight years to mature and bloom. If the area is warm, it will bear flowers at any time. 

Despite its beauty, it has deep roots that compete with other plants. It also increases biodiversity in an area, and no other plants can grow beneath it.
