Delonix regia

The Royal Poinciana is a spectacular tropical flowering tree renowned for its wide, umbrella-shaped canopy and dazzling display of brilliant scarlet-red to orange-red flowers in late spring and summer. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it offers excellent heat and drought tolerance once established. With its fern-like foliage, dramatic form, and iconic blooms, the Royal Poinciana is ideal for large landscapes, streetscapes, and focal plantings where bold tropical color and expansive shade are desired.
