Plant Description

Sesbania punicea, known for its vibrant red-orange flowers and feathery compound leaves, is a striking, semi-aquatic shrub. Reaching up to 3 meters, this plant has slender, arching stems that support pendulous clusters of showy, pea-shaped flowers. Each leaf is finely divided, giving it a delicate, airy texture that contrasts beautifully with the intense flower color. In summer, long, slender seed pods form, hanging gracefully alongside the foliage. Native to South America, Sesbania punicea thrives in moist habitats, bringing vibrant color to wetland and garden landscapes alike.
