Delonix regia (Poinciana Flamboyant Tree) | 3 Seeds | £3.49

A deciduous tree endemic to Madagascar, eventually growing to a height of around 20-30 feet within open ground, although staying much smaller if grown as a bonsai: 2-3 ft tall, or eventually up to 6-8 ft within a large pot

Beautiful, fern-like foliage composed of bright-green leaflets – very attractive even when not in flower or in leaf

The tree produces a vibrant red and long-lasting flowering display from April to August

The trees are easy to keep small (if desired) with pruning.  These trees flower fairly young

Makes an excellent bonsai tree as the roots are very shallow and it is easily dwarfed

Frost tender and needs to be kept above 7°C

Please note: full germination instructions are printed on each pack
