The jacaranda trees found in the Nilgiris are said to have been brought from foreign countries and planted in the Nilgiris during the British rule to enhance the beauty of tea plantations in India. They were also planted as an aesthetic fence for the gardens. During the summer season, the purple flowers are in full bloom.
