Delonix regia is a tropical, evergreen tree that can reach heights and widths of up to 10 meters in its native habitat of Madagascar. This species features finely divided, fern-like foliage and produces clusters of vivid red blooms. In regions susceptible to frost, it is best cultivated in a temperate greenhouse as a foliage plant, as flowering is uncommon in container settings.
