Erythrina crista-galli

This is gorgeous P....I've never heard of it before...Is it tender?

What's your secret?
No offence, but yours is minute compared to mine.

Lol, this a baby only 2 years old, kept in a frost free greenhouse in the winter (luckily), potted in on in spring 60% multi-p 20% JI num. 3 20% grit a couple of handfulls of slow release put outside early June and most importantly when there is strong wind forcast pop it back in the greenhouse for the day. I used to have an older, larger one but lost it 2 winters ago. (carless!).

Mine was clearly happier growing to two and a half metres than blooming on the whole............
Wind b#ggers them!
