Very showy red-flowered rare Powdepuff, very fast growing and spacey shrub. It is very cold tolerant, survived 3 nights of 25F hard freeze in our garden. Great solution for subtropical gardens to get exotic look and yet survive occasional freezes.
It is a many-stemmed dense shrub, the branches grow from ground level, and the leaves consist of tiny crowded leaflets that fold together at night or by touch. The fine, feathery and large flowers are a deep scarlet color and borne among the green foliage from spring to autumn. Great bonsai plant.
Recommended Fertilizer: SUNSHINE Megaflor - Bloom Nutrition Booster
