Seed packet size

Erythrina caffra, known as "cafra" or "coral tree", is an ornamental tree native to South Africa, known for its striking red flowers and elegant form. This tree can grow up to 10 meters tall, though in garden settings, it tends to be more compact. Its large, deep green leaves provide a beautiful contrast to the flowers, which bloom in clusters during spring and summer, attracting pollinators such as birds and bees.

Ideal for tropical or subtropical gardens, Erythrina caffra is heat-tolerant and can withstand drought once established. However, it is not frost-resistant, so it is best suited for warmer climates. Due to its fast growth, it is an excellent choice for those looking for an ornamental tree that provides quick shade. Additionally, its spiny bark gives it an exotic touch.

This tree is perfect for adding color and beauty to sunny gardens.
