It is prone to damage by late spring frosts in Britain and can be difficult to get established here; the flowers also only survive occasionally, usually they get frosted while in bud.
All specimen I've seen some fine and robust Paulownia tomentosa here around the PNW. I had some 5 gallon trees that rooted into some mulch though the drainage holes in the pots. I severed them to move the trees and the roots that where left in the mulch have started new trees. These flower without fail here every May. Cheers, LPN.
