Caesalpinia pulcherrima is the national flower of the Caribbean Island of Barbados. This small tree or large shrub can reach a height of 8-12′ and blooms all summer long and into the fall in South Florida. The most common flower color is reddish orange. However, there is a cultivar of solid yellow and one of pink. This plant is an excellent butterfly attracter.
Richard Lyons Nursery currently has this plant in stock in yellow and reddish orange.
