Hanoi’s Sua flower season calls for summer
Every March, the charming streets of Hanoi come alive with the breathtaking bloom of Sua or Dalbergia Tonkinensis flowers.
The Hanoi Times — Known as the “ city of 12 flower seasons,” Hanoi celebrates a different flower every month, and March is the enchanting month of the sua flower. This white flower creates a dreamy atmosphere, signaling the end of spring and the arrival of summer.
Locals often say that when the sua flowers bloom, it’s a sign that spring is nearing its end, and summer is just around the corner. These fleeting flowers, though short-lived, bring a unique, almost magical beauty to the city.
With over 1,400 sua trees scattered throughout the capital, you'll find these stunning flowers adorning the streets of Phan Dinh Phung, Hoang Hoa Tham, Phan Chu Trinh, Giang Vo and Thanh Nien.
The white sua flowers add elegance to the cityscape, creating a poetic scene in late spring.
A sense of tranquility.
Sua flowers thrive in Hanoi's sunny spots, growing robustly in areas with rich, fertile soil and high humidity, making spring the perfect time for them to bloom.
