Caesalpinia pulcherrima - Red Bird of Paradise

Red Bird of Paradise

Seeds germinated well (5/10), growth was fast and seedlings appear robust. I have another seedling started about six months earlier that is doing very well, has been transplanted into a larger pot and is almost ready to go into the ground in our garden. I followed instructions regarding scoring, soaking, and planting depth, and was very pleased with the results. Seedlings were grown in a screened-in porch with overnight temperatures above 55 degrees and daytime temperatures in the 80s and 90s.
