Origin
"Summer Bells" is een kleine boom of struik (volwassen hoogte 3-8 meter). Hybride tussen Chilopsis linearis en Catalpa bignonioides. Het blad is langwerpig en smal. Chitalpa tashkentensis 'Summer Bells' bloeit rijkelijk met orchidee-achtige, bleekroze bloem met gele keel, bloeit juni – augustus, zoet geurend. De bloeit start vroeg in de zomer en duurt ongeveer 2-3 weken. Een tweede bloei volgt half augustus. De Chitalpa groeit het best in de volle zon, op een goed gedraineerde grond. Bij vochtig weer gevoelig voor meeldauw. Trekt bijen en vlinders aan. Chitalpa is vrij zeldzaam en daardoor niet breed verkrijgbaar.
