The hummingbird tree, Sesbania grandiflora, is a most unusual tree. With vibrant blooms that appear bird-like, hence the name of this species, the hummingbird tree is sure to add a unique twist to any border or pot where it is grown.
Native to Southeast Asia, this fast-growing tree thrives in warmer regions with high levels of sunshine and humidity. When happy, it will produce an impressive display of pendulous white, red or pink flowers, as seen in the images here. The blooms of this tree not only attract hummingbirds but other pollinators too, including butterflies and bees, making this an ideal choice for nature lovers.
