Dixie Pink Powder Puff Tree 80-100cm Tall

Description

Dixie Pink' Powder Puff Tree (80-100cm tall) Please note: This product cannot be delivered to Northern Ireland. Covered in watermelon-pink, fluffy flowers, and a relative of the Mimosa, it's not surprising that Calliandra surinamensis is also known as the Powder Puff Tree. The fragrant pink blooms of 'Dixie Pink' resemble giant powder puffs and are composed of hundreds of pink stamens emerging from a white centre, which is what give them their characteristic appearance. As an added bonus, the foliage is just as attractive with the finely divided, feathery leaves emerging flushed pink before maturing to darker green. And at night the leaves fold up! 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. Supplied as a standard plant in a 3L nursery pot, 80-100cm tall ready for planting. Delivered As: Plant Max Height (in cm): 18
