Caesalpinia pulcherrima | Red Bird of Paradise | 5 Seeds

Caesalpinia pulcherrima, Red Bird of Paradise, is a fast-growing, ornamental shrub or small tree native to the tropics and subtropics of the Americas. It typically grows 6 to 12 feet tall and wide, forming a rounded, airy canopy with fine, feathery, bipinnate leaves that give the plant a delicate texture. The most striking feature is its vibrant, showy flowers, which are bright red to orange with long, protruding stamens, blooming in large clusters throughout the warm months. These blossoms are highly attractive to butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. The plant produces flat, brown seed pods after flowering. Red Bird of Paradise thrives in hot, sunny locations with well-drained soil and is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it a popular choice for xeriscaping, tropical gardens, and as a striking hedge or accent plant. It is low-maintenance, tolerant of pruning, and adds a bold splash of color to arid and semi-arid landscapes. Zones 8-11 Germination To germina
