Description
Pack of 3 large fresh seeds of Delonix regia, the Flame Tree (also known as the Royal Poinciana or the Flamboyant Tree) – with full instructions for germination
A deciduous tree endemic to Madagascar, eventually growing to a height of around 20-30 feet within open ground, although staying much smaller if grown as a bonsai: 2-3 ft tall, or eventually up to 6-8 ft within a large pot.
Beautiful, fern-like foliage composed of bright-green leaflets – very attractive even when not in flower or in leaf
The tree produces a vibrant red and long-lasting flowering display from April to August
The trees are easy to keep small (if desired) with pruning. These trees flower fairly young. Makes an excellent bonsai tree as the roots are very shallow and it is easily dwarfed
Frost tender and needs to be kept above 7°C
