I just wanted to let you know I planted the seeds but not all of them in a pot and kept it moist and there are so many coming up. I couldnt believe it I've never had seeds come up that fast. thankyou very much. Connie.
I had to tell you-- i have a container on my windowsill with bulbs in it that i won. they havent really grown much so i put 2 of the seeds i won from you in the pot... just pushed them in the dirt... that was 2 days ago- i looked at thepot tonight and one of your seeds was up 1/4 inch in just those 2 days!!! i hope it keeps on growing so i can transplant it outside... i was amazed it had grown in just those 2 days!!! thanks jo
Their best attributes include being very drought tolerant, having an extremely long and brilliant bloom period, they are totally happy in our alkaline soil and they get by on minimal care.
The best spot for these wonderful plants is in full, all day, bright, hot sun. They thrive on heat, truly coming on strong only after the temperatures have reached at least into the 90s and more.
Though some believe that they need to be pruned every year, it is actually optional. There are some gorgeous shrubs in medians that rarely get pruned and the result is very large plants with extremely exuberant growth that start blooming as much as two months before their severely pruned counterparts.
The reason one would want to prune back their Red Birds, would be to control size. If you need for the plant to remain no more than 4 feet high and wide, then yearly pruning will achieve that end.
The best known of these plants is probably Red Bird (Caesalpinia pulcherrima).
