5 Seeds Red Cassia Tree

Red Cassia is a striking, fast-growing ornamental tree prized for its abundant clusters of bright pink to red blooms that appear in spring and early summer. This semi-evergreen species features feathery, fern-like green foliage that creates a soft, airy canopy, making it a wonderful focal point in larger gardens or landscape settings. As a classic tropical beauty, it offers long-lasting color and attracts attention with its vivid floral display during the warm season.
This tree is best suited for ornamental planting in parks, large yards, or as a specimen shade tree. It thrives in full sun with well-draining soil and appreciates regular watering until established, after which it tolerates moderate drought. In cooler regions, it can be grown in a large container and overwintered indoors. Its spreading habit and moderate growth rate make it a rewarding choice for gardeners seeking a dramatic, flowering highlight.
