White Powder Puff (Calliandra haematocephylla alba)
White Powder
Puff is a delightful
flowering shrub
that has a longer
bloom season
and more compact
growth habit
than the red form.
The large 3” white
puffs arrive continuously during the short days of the year, from early
winter well into spring, on the arching branches of this South American
native. White Powder Puff performs equally well in full to partial sun and a
wide range of temperatures as long as it’s kept above freezing.
