Cordia sebestena

Large shrub to small tree with the brightest orange-red flowers. These are produced throughout the warmer months on the beatiful backdrop of its dark-green rough-textured foliage. Flowers are followed by white, rounded to pear-shaped fruits which are also a bit ornamental. Scarlet Cordia is very easy to grow and it does well in coastal harsh conditions. It is good in the small garden landscape or even in pots.
