Bauhinia grandidieri
Dwarf Bauhinia Bauhinia grandidieri
Sprawling tree under 10 feet in height, with a windswept habit. It grows in exposed rocky crags in Caribbean islands.
Use it in a sunny, well-drained spot in alkaline soil, and it should always look nice.
Position a group in a raised bed, allowing them to develop into a color-strewn mass.
Alternatively, it may be trained along an espalier, for an interesting effect.
