15+ MIXED seeds for: Red and Yellow Pride of Barbados, Caesalpinia pulcherrima (a member of the pea family (Fabaceae). THESE SEEDS ARE MIXED. They were grown together and I cannot tell them apart; I cannot separate them or label them separately.

A definite traffic stopper in your front yard, and the butterflies and hummingbirds LOVE them!
