Move aside Orange Pride of Barbados, there's a new sheriff in town and it's the Pink Pride of Barbados! The Pink Pride of Barbados Caesalpinia pulcherrima 'Compton' looks very similar to

the common Orange Pride of Barbados, but the flowers are vivid pink that will fade to a soft pink with long red stamens that are very showy against ferny foliage. Thrives in full sun and can grow between 6 - 8 feet in height and width. Blooms from summer to late fall, attracting many pollinators like butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.
