Bauhinia galpinii – Red Orchid

Bauhinia galpinii is admired for its vibrant, orchid-like orange-red flowers that bloom profusely during warm months. Native to southern Africa, this hardy plant thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it ideal for drought-tolerant or low-maintenance gardens. Its sprawling growth habit allows it to be used as a large ground cover, trained on trellises, shaped into a hedge, or even a small tree. Perfect for adding a splash of color, Bauhinia galpinii attracts pollinators like hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, bringing life and beauty to any landscape.
