5 Seeds Caesalpinia pulcherrima Pride of Barbados Dwarf Poinciana Flowering Shrub

Caesalpinia pulcherrima, commonly called Pride of Barbados or Dwarf Poinciana, is a tropical flowering shrub prized for its vivid clusters of red, orange, and yellow blooms that resemble small flames. It brings a bold, exotic look to warm-climate gardens and can be grown as a container specimen where winters are cool.
This shrub works beautifully in mixed borders, as a standalone accent, or in large patio pots, and its airy fern-like foliage adds fine texture all season. It grows quickly in full sun and well-drained soil, blooms over a long warm season, and responds well to light pruning to shape.
