Purple Poinciana flowers have been present in Da Lat for a long time, but have only been widely grown in the past 10 years. According to existing documents, in 1962, agronomist Luong Van Sau brought this flower variety from Europe to plant in Da Lat. It was he who nursed and planted the first Purple Poinciana trees in this city.

However, according to Da Lat Urban Construction Company, because Da Lat's first asexually propagated purple phoenix tree when planted grew slowly and did not bloom much, so more than a decade ago, the Company imported varieties from South America came to mass-plant in Da Lat. The new purple poinciana variety grows quite quickly and produces luxuriant flowers

Thus, Da Lat currently has two types of purple phoenix, including the type bred from the first purple phoenix tree by engineer Luong Van Sau, and a new type recently imported from South America. Both of these types have now become flowers that bring unique beauty to Da Lat and usually bloom in March and April every year.

Rows of new purple poinciana trees are growing well at the corner of Hoang Van Thu lake, Tran Phu street, creating an impressive scene for Da Lat this season.
