Erythrina bidwillii is a fast growing deciduous small tree (Camdeni) or multi-stemmed shrub (Blakei).
Its main feature is its wonderful giant, pea-shaped, red flowers which appear in spring and summer. When in bloom the flowers make a wonderful sight both close-up and from a distance.
The leaves are made up of three ovate leaflets with small recurved prickles along the leaf midribs and petioles.
Can be grown as a specimen shrub or in larger pots and containers and makes an excellent garden plant being more compact than others.
