Bauhinia grandidieri

Can be used for bonsai

Very rare dwarf bauhinia, great for bonsai. It may be as well trained along an espalier, for an interesting effect. Grows 2-4 ft tall and 10 ft wide. Very tiny leaves and blueish-purple orchid-like flowers. Use it in a sunny, well-drained spot in alkaline soil, and it should always look nice.

See article about bauhinias.
