Looking for the Pride of Barbados, Caesalpinia pulcherrima for your Austin garden?  Make sure you are buying the hardy Pride of Barbados variety.  Not all plants labeled “Pride of Barbados” are created equal. To get those vibrant, head-turning summer blooms that handle our intense heat, you need the correct variety.

Here at Vivero Growers Nursery, we take pride in growing the exact, tried-and-true variety that thrives in our local climate.  Not only do we grow several of our Texas natives that we sell, but we also grow our Pride of Barbados.  Why is this important?  This helps to ensure that you are getting selected Texas natives as well as acclimated plants like the Pride of Barbados that do well here in our local area.

Did you get one last year and it didn’t come back?  Odds are you got the tropical variety that is readily available and sold at local big box stores and grocery stores.  In this video, we show you exactly how to tell the difference so you can spot the right one instantly.

Plant the pollinator favorite Pride of Barbados and enjoy its show stopping blooms.
