Erythrina herbaria

A gorgeous Florida native flower. This plant is a perfect addition to a butterfly garden with its bright scarlet flowers, known to attract all types of pollinators and even hummingbirds if they are around. This woody perennial shrub comes from the Fabaceae, or legume and pea family, and prefers the native sandy soil. Named for its coral-colored seeds this plant also goes by Cardinal spear, a descriptor of its flowers.

Be careful. The seeds and flowers are extremely toxic.

  • “All items arrived quickly and well packaged. I usually expect to have one or two live items out of a batch, but they are all thriving. I couldn’t be happier!”

  • “My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

  • “I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
