Also called the yellow bird of paradise or desert bird of paradise, this shrub brings a soft, tropical look to warm-climate gardens and mixed borders. It grows as a deciduous to semi-evergreen shrub with an upright, spreading habit, producing feathery green leaves and cheerful blooms through the warmer months. The flowers stand out against the fine foliage and are followed by flat seed pods that add further ornamental interest. It works well as a background planting, informal hedge, or specimen shrub in sunny, well-drained settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is grown primarily for its ornamental value in landscapes and gardens, where its bright blooms and textured foliage create a striking display. The flowers appear over a long season in warm weather and are attractive in beds, borders, and drought-oriented plantings. It prefers full sun and a well-drained soil, and it is tolerant of heat and dry conditions once established. It can be grown in containers when young or in the ground in suitable climates. Its open, airy form pairs nicely with other sun-loving shrubs and perennials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecies: Caesalpinia gilliesii\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Flowering shrub\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, spreading shrub\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, sandy to average soil\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 8-11\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Scarify seed and soak in warm water before sowing\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Sow in warm, well-drained seed-starting mix\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 4-6 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Deciduous to semi-evergreen in warm climates\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663410135176,"sku":"EXGA-1361","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_ff06046b-cfd3-4ded-8a88-a12f34b3f95c.png?v=1791896960","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-seeds-bird-of-paradise-shrub-caesalpinia-gilliesii-hardy-flowering-plant","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
