Blue Flowering Trees
Blue Flowering Trees. Blue-flowering trees exist, although they aren't common. Their striking flowers -- ranging from the palest sky blue to deep, nearly purple hues -- provide a focal point in your yard. Gardeners can choose from shrub-like trees to full-sized trees that are better suited for large residential properties or parks.

Depending on the variety, blossoms may be almost white, light blue or dark blue. Blue blossom trees may grow up to 18 feet tall. They are fast-growing and drought tolerant, according to California Flora Nursery.
