Description
Covered in huge, watermelon-pink, fluffy flowers, it’s not surprising that Calliandra is also known as the Powder Puff Tree. The fragrant pink blooms resemble giant powder puffs and are composed of hundreds of pink stamens emerging from a white centre. As a south American native, Calliandra is a definite sun lover, and best grown where it can be kept in a sunny position and moved into a greenhouse or conservatory over winter. In fact, it's so suited for container growing that it is often selected as a specimen for bonsai. Grows to 1.8m.
Top Tips
Never to allow it to dry out during the flowering period.
Care Information
  • Calliandras grow and flower best if they are grown in full sun, although they can tolerate partial shade.
  • Plant in reasonably fertile, moist but well-drained soil.
  • Water regularly and thoroughly, especially during the summer when it will be in growth.
  • Well established plants can tolerate occasional periods of drought.
  • Your Powder Puff Tree will require little pruning, just a light trim after flowering in the spring to maintain shape and a dense form.
