About Royal, Poinciana Seed
Brilliant scarlet-orange blooms crown this tree in late spring and summer, making it one of the world's most spectacular flowering trees. Royal Poinciana (Delonix regia) forms a wide, umbrella-shaped canopy of feathery, fern-like leaves that casts welcome dappled shade. In frost-free climates it makes a stunning shade or specimen tree, and in cooler areas young plants make fun container or bonsai projects that can be moved indoors for winter.
