Red Rose Shower Tree (Cassia marginata) 10 Seeds
 
The Red Cassia is smaller and less robust than the other varieties, but is extremely beautiful at all times of the year.

The name refers to the thickened margins of the leaves.

In May and June, the upper surfaces of the downward sweeping, hairy branches are laden with copious, short clusters of deep pink flowers.

The tree appears almost overweighted with the profusion of blossoms.

The flowers are quite small, little more than 1 inch across, with five petals, two of which are often slightly larger. The calyx is pink and the nine stamens are in three groups; three are very long and curved, the next four are less than half that length and all bear red anthers. The remaining two are very short and have yellow anthers.

The flowers are more of a salmon-pink than the other Cassias and each petal is delicately veined with green, the pink becoming deeper as the flower ages.
