Dwarf Pink Powder Puff (Calliandra Schultzei ‘Rose Cascade’)
General Information: Native to Bolivia, pink powder puff is an evergreen shrub or small tree. It was formerly included in the legume or pea family, but has recently been shifted into the mimosa family. It typically grows 10-15 feet tall in its native habitat and is a very popular flowering shrub in central and southern Florida where it will survive year-round in the ground. Blooms primarily in fall and winter, but sporadic additional bloom may occur throughout the rest of the year. Variations in flower color exist, with some pink and white forms being available. Calliandra comes from the Greek words kallos meaning beauty and andros meaning stamen.
