Pink Lady, Appleblossom Shower, Cassia javanica, is easily grown from seed offered by the GreenDealer Exotic Seeds selection of Tropical Rainforest Plants, Trees, and Tropical Houseplants.

Pink Lady, Cassia javanica, is a small flowering tree with a beautiful wide-spreading crown. It has very pretty pale-green leaves 2 inches (5 cm) long. It produces a mass of gorgeous flowers, with petals at first pale red, changing to dark red, then palling again to pink.

This ornamental tree is winter hardy in the tropical zones of 10 - 11, but is easily grown in containers indoors in northern climate zones if offered adequate light and warmth.

The specimen shown above was photographed in the central plaza of Liberia, Costa Rica, in June of 1999.
