Large irregular shrub generally known in Phoenix as Mexican Bird of Paradise, name that really belongs to C. mexicana.  Spectacular summer display of red-orange, orange, and yellow crepe-like flowers with red stamen.   The Red Bird of Paradise is a relatively frost sensitive Caesalpinia, and it is generally better to trim it close to ground in winter.  Attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds
Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not overwater
