Erythrina x bidwillii (Hybrid Coral Bean)

SunZone: 7b-10, at least 72" tall Origin: USA Hybrid

Web-Only! Somehow, our US coral bean, E. herbacea, had some unsafe sex with the South American E. crista-galli. What resulted is one helluva offspring. E. x bidwillii makes a 6' tall x 6' wide mound of giant pea-like foliage. From June until October, the mound is covered with 20" long arching spires of bright red, lipstick-like flowers...so incredible it's hard to describe...likes it hot and sunny...an AWESOME specimen! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
