Red Puff

The Red Powderpuff plant, Calliandra haematocephala, is a great looking bold bloomer. These "puff" blooms show off all spring, summer, into the fall until now... in fact all year round... on this carefree shrub.

Calliandra Tergemina

Calliandra is a genus of about 200 species of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, subfamily Mimosoideae, native to tropical and subtropical regions of southern Asia, Africa and the Americas. We have plenty of them here in Miami. For some reason, it is quite hard to find detailed information about this plant on the internet. Its common names are Powderpuff and Fairy-Duster. I hope Tog will not come to tell me that this is the wrong name again.
