When a coral tree unfolds its splendid red inflorescence, the rest of nature has long since returned to winter calm. Not so with Erythrina variegata, which even has the power to develop legumes up to 30 cm long in spring, which appear together with the pretty green pinnate leaves. The tropical ornamental wood is constantly busy making a contribution to the picturesque decoration of the balcony, terrace, winter garden or living room. To ensure that he succeeds in this botanical feat of strength over and over again for many years, the exotic legume does not require laborious care or complicated wintering.
