LIVE PLANT 3ft Caesalpinia pulcherrima YELLOW Dwarf Poinciana Pride of Barbados

Description: The plant I ship is about 3ft tall. Last photos are of one of actual plant.For plants bought together shipping is combined and discounted. This full sun beauty is great for smaller yards or an indoor houseplant, only growing to about 3-10ft. Blooms just as well in a pot or planted right in the ground! This can grow to 3-6ft wide as a bush or can also be trained into a small tree. Vivid yellow blooms outlined in white with very long showy stamens will appear spring through summer and will attract hummingbirds. These are on the drought tolerant side, so it's not high maintenance, what more could you ask for! Hardiness: USDA Zones 8 - 11. Peacock flower dies to the ground following frost or freezing temperatures, but in zone 8B, at least, it comes back reliable, late or middle spring. Don't give up on it! Peacock flower has survived temperatures as low as 18 F. It can be grown as an annual in colder climates. Even under frost free conditions, peacock flower may lose its leaves when temperatures drop into the 40's. DescriptionThe Pride of Barbados is an evergreen shrub or small tree that is a member of the Fabaceae or legume family. It is originally from Mexico and the Caribbean and has beautiful showy orange-red flowers, fern-like leaves, and prickles on its stems and branches. It is the national flower of Barbados. It may also be known as Barbados Flower Fence, Barbados Pride, Dwarf Poinciana, Peacock Flower, and Red Bird of Paradise. The genus, Caesalpinia, is named in honor of the 16th-century botanist, philosopher, and physician, Andreas Caesalpini. The species name, pulcher, is Latin and means beauty. The Pride of Barbados is a deciduous shrub in zone 9 and perennial in zone 8. In the tropics, it may grow 15-20 feet tall and equally as wide. The flowers are clusters of orange-red blossoms with long red stamens. They blossom most of the year in the tropics. In climates where frost occurs, the flowers appear late summer and fall. After flowering, the fruits appear which are pod-like. When they ripen, the pods split open and disperse the small seeds. The seeds contain tannic acid that is poisonous and can result in gastrointestinal discomfort if ingested. Exercise caution if using this specimen in areas frequented by children or pets. Hot humid weather and full sun ensure flowering. It is intolerant of poorly drained soils. Once it matures it tolerates some drought. During the growing season, they perform best if watered deeply but infrequently. Pruning may be needed to maintain its shape. It may be best to avoid planting this shrub near patios or walkways due to its prickly stems and branches. Used as a specimen, accent, or border, it would add beautiful color in a sunny, hot, and humid area. The flowers also attract hummingbirds and butterflies. They are considered deer resistant. In terms of pests and diseases, the shrub may develop scale and may be susceptible to mushroom root rot in poorly drained soil. Fertilizer that I include as an option is an excellent choice for professional growers or nurseries if you grow plant in a pot. I personally use it for all my plants. It has polymer coating to allow slow release during 8-9 months evenly. You don't have to worry about repotting the plant for about 1 year or worry about burning plant with your regular over the counter fertilizer. You need about 3-4oz per 3 gal pot or 4-5oz per 5 gal pot.GUARANTEED ANALYSIS Total Nitrogen (N)**. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15%8.0% Ammoniacal Nitrogen7.0% Nitrate NitrogenAvailable Phosphate (P2O5)**. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9%Soluble Potash (K2O)**. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12%Magnesium (Mg)**. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.3%0.8% Water Soluble Magnesium (Mg)Sulfur (S)**. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.9%5.93% Combined Sulfur (S)Boron (B). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.02%Copper (Cu). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.05%0.05% Water Soluble Copper (Cu)Iron (Fe)**. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.46%0.08% Water Soluble Iron (Fe)0.005% Chelated Iron (Fe)Manganese (Mn)**. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.06%0.05% Water Soluble Manganese (Mn)Molybdenum (Mo)**. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.02%Zinc (Zn). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.05%0.017% Water Soluble Zinc (Zn)Derived from: Polymer-Coated: Ammonium Nitrate,Ammonium Phosphate, Potassium Sulfate, MagnesiumSulfate, Sodium Borate, Iron Phosphate, Iron EDTA,Manganese Sulfate, Sodium Molybdate, Zinc Sulfate;Copper Sulfate, Zinc Oxide Pictures depict grown up plants and its possible applications.Height of the plants is measured from the base of the root ball.No returns, refunds or exchanges
