Coral Bean is a native, deciduous shrub or small tree known for its striking spikes of bright red, tubular flowers that bloom in spring and attract hummingbirds and pollinators. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it offers excellent heat and drought tolerance once established. With its open branching habit, seasonal interest, and high wildlife value, Coral Bean is ideal for native landscapes, naturalized areas, and Florida-friendly gardens seeking bold color and ecological benefits.
