Calliandra haemotocepha, or Dwarf Powder Puff Plant, is a relatively fast-growing, flowering, semi-tropical shrub. It is one of several dozen cultivars of this unique and interesting species. The name Dwarf variety is relative, as it grows into a full, bushy shrub about 4 to 5 feet tall if unpruned, which is much smaller than many other types of the species.

The prolific scarlet red puff ball-shaped flowers begin as small clustered buds that resemble small berries, and are present throughout the warm season, beginning in the very early spring and lasting until the nights drop into the 40's and 50's in the Fall. The flowers are very attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.
The Dwarf Powder Puff Plant grows bushy and upright with multiple, thin, cane-like branches and unusual, medium-sized oval, pinnate leaves that fold together like praying hands at night.

Use it as a hedge, boundary, mixed perennial background, or potted plant. It is a frequent choice for bonsai culture.
