Description: Caesalpinia pulcherrima is a shrub, Tropical or a Tender perennial in the Fabaceae family. A native possibly to the West Indies, but the origin is unknown. Some familiar names include Barbados Pride, Paradise Flower, Peacock Tree, or flamboyant-de-jardin. This shrub can grow to 15 feet tall but is mainly seen around 5-8 feet tall and wide. It will grow larger in higher zones where it does not freeze. I grew it in zone 8; it died to the ground every year and returned in the Spring. The leaves look like Cassia leaves, small and rounded. The fragrant flowers are unique, with each flower having 5 Yellow petals. It is the national flower of the Caribbean island Barbados. Birds, bees, and butterflies visit it in bloom from Late summer until Mid fall. It constantly blooms in zones 10 and 11. Zones 8-11 Germination Scarify seeds with sandpaper to break through the outer coating of seeds. Soak seeds for 24 hours. Sow seeds 1/2" deep and lightly cover. Keep moist in a bright spot. Do not cover and keep temperatures around 65-75F. Germination is in 7-30 days.
