Caesalpinia pulcherrima Compton

I have fresh seed from India. Happy to send to anyone who wants them,
Jenny

 

Jenny these like really warm climates while growing. Can take -1 to -5 (temp in delhi in winter nights) but need a lot of sun. are u planning to grow them in green house? Good luck.. i love eating the flower petals which are edible and have slightly sweet sour flavour..

Thanks for the info Minki. I don't have a GH but wondered if anyone who has exotics/tropical could find a home for them,
Jenny

 

I'd be prepared to have a go Jenny, but I should add that on the two or three times I have tried them I've not got them past 12 months.

 

If you PM me your address Pete, I'll pop some in the post to you,
Jenny

 

Jenny - that's a really nice offer. But at the moment I will say no. I do have a single seedling from last year's sowing. But I am having the same problem as Pete. Its spent almost its entire life hovering between life and death. Schrodinger's cat springs to mind.

 

I also gave up after three attempts over the years (including Flava, the yellow variety) so I too will pass on them. Thanks for the offer Jenny.

 

Being a glutton for punishment I'll give it a go if any are left.
Got a few things to swap.

 

I'll pop 'em in the post to ya this morning,
Jenny

 

Thanks!
We'll talk in a few weeks regarding Salvias (by way of return).
