Erythrina acanthocarpa

Very ornamental deciduous erythrina from dry South Africa, with elegant, compact foliage. Branches come up from an underground caudex. It bears bicoloured flowers of an outstanding beauty, in summer.

Erythrina acanthocarpa is easy to grow in pots or in the ground in well-draining soil. It takes frost but it does not stand freezing wet soil. The caudex can grow to 25 cm in diameter and can be exposed in cultivation to enhance the unusual beauty of this plant.


We offer a 1-2 year old seedling, Height: 30-50 cm
