Dwarf White Bauhinia is a garden growing plant that can grow up to 2 meters in height. Its flowers are rich in pollen and nectar that attract various insects such as butterflies, moths and bees. It is also one of the host plants for many butterflies species and the larvas of certain moth species feed on the flowers.
Bauhinia plants are widely used in Ayurvedic medicines for ailments such as cough, constipation, pneumonia and venereal disease.
