Empress Tree. Paulownia tomentosa
It has fragrant purple flowers shaped like fox glove that bloom and fall April and May.
Horrible invasive around my area, it's huge leaves soak up sun and it's crazy fast growing outcompetes natives :(
Yeah, it can be controversial. Best not to plant it near a foundation. There are few in a mostly empty field near where I live and another few in a park where the trees are spread out.
