Caesalpinia pulcherrima
Caesalpinia pulcherrima
Also known as the Mexican bird of paradise, Beautifully fringed, orange and red blooms cover this magnificent, West Indian shrub which has most attractive deeply divided foliage. In a warm country or very well-protected UK garden or a conservatory, it makes one of the most spectacular plants you can ever be lucky enough to grow.
Lightly sand the seed before soaking in water for up to 24 hours. If external coating is very hard then cut/nick shell to enable water to penetrate the internal kernel. Pot into a good medium of loamy/good draining compost and water lightly. Do not over water as rotting may occur. Place into a polythene bag on a warm sunny window sill and wait for approx 10 days.
Price is for 5 seeds
