Caesalpinia Pulcherrima

Also know as The Red Bird of Paradise /
Pride of Barbados / Poinciana / Peacock Flower / Mexican Bird Of Paradise.

This full sun beauty is great for smaller yards or an indoor houseplant, only growing to about 3-10ft. Blooms just as well in a pot or planted right in the ground!

This can grow to 3-6ft wide as a bush or can also be trained into a small tree.

Reddish/orange blooms outlined in yellow with very long showy stamens will appear spring through summer and will attract hummingbirds!

These are on the drought tolerant side, so its not high maintenance, what more could you ask for!

Hardiness: USDA Zones 8 - 11. Peacock flower dies to the ground following frost or freezing temperatures, but in zone 8B, at least, it comes back reliable, late or middle spring. Don't give up on it! Peacock flower has survived temperatures as low as 18 F. It can be grown as an annual in colder climates. Even under frost free conditions, peacock flower may lose its leaves when temperatures drop into the 40's.

Medicinal uses in different cultures may include:

The juice from the leaves is said to cure fever, the juice from the flower is said to cure sores, and the seeds are said to cure bad cough, breathing difficulty, and chest pain. Four grams from the root is also said to induce abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy.

*DISCLAIMER*

NO RETURNS/REFUNDS/REPLACEMENTS ON SEEDS

Most specialty seeds we offer are NOT fast to germinate.

Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. These factors are totally out of The Plant Attraction's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or mistakes. Since 2006 we have been doing our best to hand sort and provide the freshest, cleanest harvest that is free of defects and bugs.
