Bauhina galpinii is a
perfect sized tree for many yards. The Red Orchid bush grows to 15
feet tall and can spread to 25 feet. The red flowers of Bauhinia galpinii
are produced Summer through Fall. The Red Orchid Bush can be kept as
a loose hedge or allowed to grow over a shed. A cold spell that dips
into the 20's will usually knock off the leaves. Damage starts to
occur if the temperatures dip into the low 20's. Bauhinia galpinii
does not seem to have issues with the heat of inland valleys even when
grown in a reflective environment. The Red Orchid Bush does require
a moderate amount of water to keep up with the harsh conditions.
