Growing Jacaranda in a Container: Overwintering Tips for Cold Climates

Jacaranda mimosifolia (50 ft, blooms twice, full sun, min 41°F) and J. jasminoides (6-12 ft) are tropical. In Atlanta, keep potted jacaranda indoors in winter with a heater and grow light. Use rich, moist, well-drained soil. Prune after summer bloom. Fertilize monthly in summer. It will never survive year-round outdoors here.
