Calliandra haematocephala
Calliandra haematocephala, or Powder Puff Tree, features bright red, fluffy flowers from fall to spring, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. It’s ornamental, not edible, and has no noted air-purifying or fragrant qualities. Moderate care is needed—prefers full sun, regular watering, and thrives in warm climates; not frost-tolerant. Suitable for experienced gardeners or those in tropical/subtropical zones. Ideal for outdoor gardens, patios, or large containers; not recommended for small indoor spaces due to size. It grows fairly quickly under optimal conditions. Non-toxic to humans and pets, making it safe for family environments.
