• A fast-growing, shrub-like tropical tree, the Pink Powder Puff is a large, spreading plant that remains small in stature. Its somewhat horizontal growth habit makes it well-suited for urban and small lot use, and it is a frequent favorite for bonsai culture due to its flexible trunk and limbs.
• This plant produces a spectacular show of prolific, pastel pink, puff-ball flowers that are very attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. The buds resemble small berries, and the plant is in its heaviest bloom from spring to mid-fall, providing a long-lasting show of color.
• Care: A very low-maintenance plant that is easy to grow in a full sun to partial shade location. It thrives in a fertile, well-drained soil and requires consistent moisture. Prune after flowering to maintain shape, and feed annually in the spring for the best performance.
• Indoor Growing: While this plant is a frequent choice for Bonsai culture, we do not recommend indoor growing for inexperienced growers with average indoor conditions. This species requires more space, light, warmer temperatures with a day/night differential, and higher humidity than the average indoor growing space provides.
• Climate: A tropical plant that is best suited for outdoor growing in USDA Hardiness Zones 9b through 11. It will not tolerate freezing temperatures and should be protected from frost in all zones.
