  • Pride of Barbados (Caesalpinia pulcherrima)

Sun Requirements: Full Sun

Water Requirements: Low to Moderate

Height: 6-10 feet

Bloom Time: Summer to Fall

Description:
Pride of Barbados is a striking, heat-loving shrub known for its brilliant red-orange flowers with long, elegant stamens. This tropical beauty thrives in hot climates and is highly drought-tolerant once established. The fern-like foliage adds texture to landscapes, while the vibrant blooms attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators.

Planting Tips:

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained soil; tolerates poor soil conditions.

  • Light: Requires full sun for the best bloom production.

  • Watering: Water regularly when young; drought-tolerant once established.

  • Maintenance: Prune in late winter or early spring to encourage bushier growth and more blooms.

Ideal Season for Planting in Texas: Spring

Nativity to Texas: No (Native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas)

Additional Notes:
Pride of Barbados is often grown as a perennial in warmer regions of Texas but may die back in colder winters, regrowing from the roots in spring. Its vibrant colors and low maintenance make it a standout in any drought-tolerant landscape.
