Flamboyant is a stunning tropical tree renowned for its brilliant orange-red flower display and wide, spreading canopy. Plant it in full sun with well-draining soil and give it ample space, as it can reach 30–40 feet wide at maturity. It is drought-adaptable once established but benefits from regular watering during its first few years.
