Bauhinia Galpinii
Bauhinia galpinii, commonly known as Red Bauhinia, is a stunning flowering shrub native to southern Africa. It is celebrated for its striking red, orchid-like flowers and vibrant, glossy foliage, making it a popular ornamental plant for gardens and landscapes.
This medium-sized shrub can grow up to 3 meters in height and is characterized by its elongated, kidney-shaped leaves that create a lush backdrop for its eye-catching flowers. The flowers are bright red or orange-red, often appearing in clusters, and have a distinctive butterfly or orchid-like shape, adding an exotic flair to any garden.
Bauhinia galpinii thrives in well-drained, fertile soils and requires full sun to partial shade to reach its full potential. It is a relatively hardy plant, tolerant of dry conditions once established, though it benefits from regular watering, especially during prolonged dry spells.
This plant is ideal for use as a hedge, border plant, or specimen shrub in gardens, and it is also effective for erosion control in sunny areas. Its colorful blooms are attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
With its vibrant, showy flowers and easy-care nature, Bauhinia galpinii adds a burst of tropical color and elegance to any landscape, thriving with minimal maintenance while providing visual interest throughout the growing season.

| Germination | Bauhinia is easily propagated from seed. First, you can scarify the seeds, but this is not a must. Sow the seeds 1-2 cm deep in sandy well drained potting soil, placed in a warm position and kept moist, not soaking wet. Germination should occur within 3-4 weeks but it can take longer, don't give up. The process can be speeded up by soaking the seed overnight in hot water. |
| Scarification / Stratification | Seed coats may be so hard that they are impermeable to water. They need to be scratched or broken using a knife or sandpaper, in order to germinate. Chip the seeds with a sharp knife or make a few swipes with a sharp edged file or use sandpaper to allow moisture being more readily absorbed. |
