Spathodea campanulata (African Tulip Tree) - 1000 Seeds - Bulk

Spathodea campanulata, commonly known as African Tulip Tree, is a striking tropical flowering tree prized for its spectacular clusters of large, brilliant orange-red flowers.

Native to tropical Africa, this highly ornamental tree develops a broad crown of lush, pinnately compound foliage. The dramatic, tulip-shaped flowers are produced in prominent clusters above the foliage, creating an impressive display on mature trees. Flower buds are distinctive, with a velvety brown exterior and a water-filled interior.

Following flowering, the tree produces elongated woody capsules containing numerous lightweight, winged seeds.

Its bold foliage, substantial size, and exceptionally colorful flowers make it particularly suited to large gardens, tropical landscapes, parks, and specialty plant collections.
