Two major groups exist in this family- pachycaul trees and vining caudiciforms. Tree genera include Delonix and Erythrina, both of which make fantastic landscape plants in low or no frost areas. They can also be grown in large patio pots and should be treated essentially as tropicals. Both of these genera have members that can handle some frost. The vining, tuberous caudiciforms include Dolichos, Neorautanenia, and Tylosema. They can take moderate to ample water and part to full sun in the summer. An occasional fertilization will do them good. Most do best in a well drained garden soil.
